If a learner's permit holder receives a moving violation, what must they do?

When a learner's permit holder receives a moving violation, the correct course of action is to start the waiting period for a provisional license over. This consequence is in place to ensure that new drivers are aware of the importance of safe driving practices and understand that violations can affect their advancement to a full driver's license.

The rationale behind this requirement is that it encourages learner's permit holders to take their driving responsibilities seriously, as any moving violation may indicate a lack of the necessary skills or caution needed on the road. Restarting the waiting period serves as a reminder that compliance with traffic laws is critical for their safety and for the safety of others.

In contrast, other options such as taking an online driver’s course, scheduling a retest with the MVA, or obtaining a waiver for the violation do not address the fundamental issue of responsible driving behavior and accountability that is emphasized in driving regulations. Therefore, the correct procedure reinforces the importance of being a safe and responsible driver as a fundamental aspect of obtaining a provisional license.
