When is a driver with a provisional license prohibited from driving?

During school hours
From midnight to 5 am
At night regardless of the situation
During rush hour traffic

The correct answer is: From midnight to 5 am

A driver with a provisional license in Minnesota is prohibited from driving from midnight to 5 am. This restriction is specifically designed to promote safety among young drivers, who are statistically more at risk during late-night driving. The idea is that fewer distractions and less traffic can increase the likelihood of accidents during those hours. The restrictions associated with a provisional license are part of a graduated licensing system aimed at gradually increasing a young driver's experience while minimizing exposure to high-risk conditions. This allows new drivers to gain more experience in a controlled manner before they become fully licensed and face fewer restrictions. Other time-specific restrictions, like those related to school hours or rush hour traffic, do not apply under the specified laws for provisional licenses. They primarily focus on the curfew to help drivers avoid potentially dangerous situations typically associated with late-night driving.
