Minnesota Blue Card Practice Test

What class of license will the driver be obtaining?

1. Class C

2. Class B

3. Class A

4. Class D

The correct answer is: Class D

The class of license being referred to is Class D, which is typically the basic driver's license for operating standard passenger vehicles. In many jurisdictions, including Minnesota, this license allows an individual to drive non-commercial vehicles such as cars, SUVs, and light trucks. Obtaining a Class D license generally involves meeting specific requirements such as passing a written knowledge test, completing a vision screening, and successfully navigating a road skills test. This aligns with the broad intent and structure of licensing, providing access for everyday driving needs without the professional or commercial endorsements that come with higher class licenses. In contrast, Class A and Class B licenses are reserved for operating larger commercial vehicles or combinations of vehicles, and Class C might also pertain to specific commercial driving requirements or licenses for smaller commercial vehicles. Each of these other classifications entails different testing and licensing criteria that are more complex than what is needed for a typical personal vehicle.
