What is the minimum age to get a Class C driver license?

  1. 14, with parental consent

  2. 16, but only with the completion of an approved driver education course

  3. 18, with a written exam

  4. 21, with a clean driving record

The correct answer is: 16, but only with the completion of an approved driver education course

To obtain a Class C driver license, you must be at least 16 years old. This age requirement is set in place as it is generally believed that by the age of 16, individuals have developed the necessary skills and maturity to handle the responsibility of driving. Option A is incorrect as 14 is too young to obtain a driver's license, even with parental consent. Option C is incorrect as while a written exam may be required for the license application, it is not the determining factor for the minimum age requirement. Option D is incorrect as a clean driving record does not guarantee a person is of the appropriate age to obtain a Class C license.
