Who is required to obtain a California driver license?

  1. All California residents

  2. All adults over the age of 18

  3. Everyone operating a motor vehicle

  4. All visitors to the state

The correct answer is: All California residents

All California residents are required to obtain a California driver license. This is because California state law requires all individuals who reside in California for more than 30 days to obtain a California driver license. Option B is incorrect because not all adults over the age of 18 are required to obtain a California driver license; only those who are California residents. Option C is incorrect because not everyone operating a motor vehicle needs a California driver license; only those who reside in California. Option D is incorrect because not all visitors to the state are required to obtain a California driver license; it is only necessary for those who are residents.
