3. How long must a 14-year-old North Dakota Instruction Permit holder hold the permit before the road test, at minimum?
Why: A 14- or 15-year-old must hold the Instruction Permit for 12 months or until turning 16, whichever comes first -- but never less than six months, even if turning 16 would otherwise cut that short.
4. What must a North Dakota parent or legal guardian do on the day of their under-16 child's road test?
Why: An under-16 permit holder must log 50 hours of supervised practice driving in variable conditions, and a parent or legal guardian must accompany them to the road test site to sign and certify this requirement was met.

6. What vehicles can a North Dakota 15-year-old with a restricted Class D license legally drive?
Why: A 15-year-old's restricted Class D license limits them to driving only vehicles belonging to a parent, guardian, grandparent, sibling, aunt, or uncle -- not any vehicle generally.
7. What curfew applies to a North Dakota 15-year-old's restricted Class D license?
Why: The 15-year-old restricted license carries a curfew between the later of sunset or 9 p.m. and 5 a.m., with exceptions only for direct travel to or from work, an official school activity, or a religious activity.
8. What happens to a North Dakota restricted Class D license when its holder turns 16?
Why: At age 16, North Dakota's restricted Class D operator's license automatically transitions to an unrestricted license with no new application needed.
