Topic 1 · Introduction
If you are under 18, what test must you pass to get a Class C license?
- Written knowledge test and driving test — correct answer
- Only the driving test
- Only a vision test
Why
Under 18 you must pass both the knowledge test and the behind-the-wheel drive test, on top of driver education and training. (Handbook, Sections 2 and 3.)
Practise this in the real format
Reading one answer is not the same as sitting the test. The simulator runs the first-time adult form: 36 questions, 6 mistakes allowed, 83% to pass.
