Licensing & Test ReadinessStandalone practice
Sam, 15, has a New Mexico instructional permit and wants to practice in the family car on public roads. Which person may supervise him?
Correct answer: His aunt, age 25, licensed for five years, in the front passenger seat
Why
The supervisor must see the road as the learner does and be able to help at once, so New Mexico requires the supervisor to sit beside the learner. The three years of license experience can come from New Mexico or from another state. While the teen is in an approved driver education course, an approved driving instructor in the seat beside the learner also meets the rule.
