Which statement about the validity of a student license is correct?
💡 Hint
The validity period of a student license and the reasons it loses effect are both set out in Article 81 of the Road Traffic Act. Do not just memorize the period; also check whether it can lose effect even before that period ends.
Answer: ②
Explanation
Under Article 81 of the Road Traffic Act, a student license is valid for 1 year from the date of issue. However, it loses its validity as soon as the holder obtains a Class I or Class II driver's license for ordinary motor vehicles, even within that year. So the 6-month and 2-year statements, and the claim that it stays valid after a driver's license for ordinary motor vehicles is issued, are wrong.
