When transporting friends, what restriction applies to JOL holders?

JOL holders, or Junior Operating License holders in Massachusetts, face specific restrictions that are designed to promote safety for inexperienced drivers. One key restriction is that when transporting friends or passengers, they must do so only in the presence of a responsible adult. This adult must be at least 21 years old and must have a valid driver's license. The intention behind this rule is to ensure that young and inexperienced drivers have guidance from someone with more experience, which can help in preventing accidents and promoting safer driving behaviors.

The other choices do not accurately reflect the regulations in place for JOL holders. For instance, it is not the case that they are only allowed to transport family or can never transport passengers. Additionally, stating that there are no restrictions contradicts the purpose of the graduated licensing system, which is specifically aimed at gradually introducing new drivers to the responsibilities of operating a vehicle with increased freedom as they gain experience and demonstrate safe driving practices.
