A person is practicing under a qualifying general instruction permit and is not governed by the provisional-permit rule. Which accompanying driver satisfies the general California requirement?
A 25-year-old visitor licensed for the proper class in another state, not on driving probation, and seated close enough to assist immediately
A 25-year-old California driver with the proper class, no driving probation, and a seat close enough to assist immediately✓Correct answer
A 17-year-old California driver with the proper class and a clean record
A 30-year-old California driver on driving probation, seated close enough to assist
Explanation
The accompanying driver must be California licensed, at least 18, licensed for the vehicle, free from driving probation, and close enough to help immediately. Merely being an experienced adult is insufficient if the supervisor lacks the right California license status or cannot intervene from the chosen seat.
