What is the passenger restriction for a Beginner's Permit holder?

The correct answer indicates that a Beginner's Permit holder must have a licensed driver who is over 21 in the vehicle. This rule is designed to ensure that novice drivers have the guidance and support of an experienced driver who can provide instruction and assistance while driving. Having a licensed adult present helps reinforce safe driving practices and reduces the likelihood of accidents or dangerous situations, as the permit holder is still learning to navigate and operate a vehicle safely.

In some states, there might be variations on this rule, such as allowing drivers over 18 or even specific stipulations about who can accompany a Beginner's Permit holder. However, in South Carolina, the requirement is explicitly for someone over 21. This fosters a safer driving environment for inexperienced drivers as they gain confidence and knowledge behind the wheel.
