Delaware Driver Education State Practice Test

What type of vehicle can you drive with a Class D license?

1. Motorcycles only

2. Passenger cars and utility vehicles

3. Commercial trucks only

4. Buses only

The correct answer is: Passenger cars and utility vehicles

A Class D license typically allows an individual to operate passenger cars and utility vehicles. This classification encompasses a wide range of vehicles that are primarily designed for passenger transport, including sedans, SUVs, and smaller vans. The reason why this is the correct answer is that a Class D license is specifically intended for non-commercial drivers, giving them the legal authorization to drive standard vehicles without any special endorsements or limitations needed for larger or commercial vehicles. In contrast, motorcycles fall under a different class of license due to the distinct skills and knowledge required to operate them safely. Similarly, commercial trucks and buses require specific commercial licenses that ensure the driver possesses the necessary experience and training to handle larger and more complex vehicles safely, which goes beyond the scope of a Class D license.
