What is the minimum age to apply for a Class C driver license in California?

  1. 15

  2. 16

  3. 17

  4. 18

The correct answer is: 16

The minimum age to apply for a Class C driver license in California is 16 years old. This may be confusing because the legal driving age in California is 18 years old, but individuals who are 16 or 17 years old can apply for a provisional Class C license. Option A, C, and D are incorrect because they all fall below or above the minimum age requirement. It's important to note that while individuals who are 16 or 17 can apply for a provisional license, they still must complete all the necessary requirements before they can become a fully licensed driver at 18 years old.
