Which of the following can a driver with a Class D license operate?

  1. Any vehicle over 26,000 lbs

  2. Many single unit vehicles under 26,000 lbs

  3. Vehicles meant for 15 passengers or more

  4. Only motorcycles

The correct answer is: Many single unit vehicles under 26,000 lbs

A driver with a Class D license is authorized to operate many single unit vehicles that have a weight of under 26,000 pounds. This classification is designed for typical passenger vehicles and smaller trucks, making it suitable for everyday drivers who need to transport fewer passengers or goods without requiring a commercial driving license. The ability to operate single unit vehicles under this weight limit allows drivers to engage in regular driving activities, such as commuting or running errands, as well as more light-duty commercial work, like driving a van or small truck for personal or business purposes. Options that involve operating heavier vehicles (those over 26,000 lbs) or larger passenger vehicles with a capacity for 15 or more passengers fall outside the scope of a Class D license, as they require additional endorsements or a different class of driver's license. Additionally, operating only motorcycles pertains to a separate licensing requirement, specifically for motorcycle endorsements or licenses.
