    The driver can transport any passenger under 20 years of age provided the trip takes place during daylight hours.
  4. D
    The driver may carry non-family passengers under 20 years of age if each passenger carries written parental consent.

Answer

The driver cannot carry passengers under 20 years of age unless they are immediate family members.
Under standard Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) regulations, intermediate provisional license holders are restricted from transporting passengers under 20 years of age during their initial driving period unless those passengers are immediate family members or a qualified adult supervisor is present.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the driver's licensing stage and age context.
The driver is 16 years old and in the initial phase of an intermediate provisional driver license.
Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) imposes strict rules specifically tailored to young novice drivers.
2
Apply standard Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) passenger restriction rules.
During the first 6 to 12 months, provisional license holders are barred from carrying passengers under 20 years old without a qualified adult supervisor.
Peer passengers significantly increase collision risks for teenage drivers due to peer pressure and distraction.
3
Determine legal exceptions to the passenger rule.
Immediate family members (such as brothers or sisters) are exempted from this restriction.
GDL regulations accommodate practical family transportation needs while restricting casual social passenger transport.
