What is the minimum age for a licensed driver accompanying a moped operator?

The minimum age for a licensed driver accompanying a moped operator is established to ensure that the supervising driver has adequate experience and maturity to provide guidance and support to a novice moped operator. A licensed driver who is at least 21 years old typically has more driving experience and a better understanding of road rules, which can benefit the moped operator during their learning process. This age requirement is aimed at promoting safety for both riders and other road users, as younger or less experienced drivers are statistically more prone to accidents.

In contrast, other age options either do not meet the necessary experience levels or do not align with the state's regulations regarding the supervision of moped operators. Therefore, having a licensed driver who is 21 or older provides a stronger foundation for safe riding practices.
