During the second six months of the first year of driving, what hours may the driver drive unsupervised?

  1. 6:00 AM – 10:00 PM

  2. 10:00 PM – 6:00 AM, except for specific locations

  3. 10:00 PM – 1:00 AM

  4. Only on weekends

The correct answer is: 10:00 PM – 6:00 AM, except for specific locations

The correct answer indicates that during the second six months of the first year of driving, a driver is allowed to operate a vehicle unsupervised from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM, but with certain exceptions based on specific locations or circumstances. This policy aligns with Delaware's graduated licensing system, which is designed to gradually allow new drivers more independence while still maintaining some restrictions to ensure safety. This approach helps to address the increased risks associated with nighttime driving, particularly for inexperienced drivers, while acknowledging that there are times and places where it may be justified for young drivers to be on the road during these hours. Understanding this structure is crucial for new drivers as they navigate the responsibilities of driving and the associated regulations designed to promote road safety.
