What is the age limit for operating a vehicle without supervision at night with a restricted Class D license?

The age limit for operating a vehicle without supervision at night with a restricted Class D license is set after specific considerations for safety and gradual independence in driving. At 15 years old, a driver holding a restricted Class D license is not allowed to drive without a parent or guardian between sunset and 5:00 a.m. This limitation is designed to ensure that young drivers gain experience under the supervision of an adult during the more challenging night hours, which may include reduced visibility and increased risks on the road.

By requiring parental supervision during nighttime driving for this age group, the regulations aim to promote safer driving habits and provide young drivers with the guidance they need as they continue to develop their driving skills. This framework acknowledges the responsibility that comes with driving and the importance of gradual exposure to varied driving conditions.
