Ch. 5 · Driving Method

Which of the following is not listed in the text as someone who can receive a special parking permit?

[Multiple choice · Hard]

Answer: D: Drivers carrying children under 12 as passengers

Explanation

Eligible recipients of a special parking permit ("elderly drivers, etc.") are drivers aged 70 or older, certain hearing-impaired persons, persons with physical disabilities, and drivers who are pregnant or within 8 weeks after childbirth. Merely carrying children under 12 as passengers does not make a driver eligible for the permit.
