Under 46.2-334.01, when can a minor drive between midnight and 4 am?

• A. Midnight to 4am
• B. Never
• C. Only with parent in car
• D. To or from work

Answer: (A)

The rule targets a specific late-night period for drivers under 18. Virginia law restricts nighttime driving for minors, focusing on the window from midnight to 4 a.m. This means that the relevant timing for when a minor may drive is that exact span, with the understanding that an exception applies for a trip to or from work. The idea is to limit late-night driving but still allow essential movements tied to employment. The other options don’t match the way the statute frames the allowed timing and exceptions, so the correct choice emphasizes the midnight-to-4-a.m. window.
