Krista Khan · Answer 1

The minor's parent (s) or guardian (s) who signed the consent form are responsible.

Kaya Reed · Answer 2

The minor's parents or guardians who signed the consent form are responsible

Explanation:

When a minor gets the license, the parents have to sign the consent where they take the responsability for him/her. This can mean for the parents that they are responsible for financial consequences if a minor gets into an accident and he/she is responsible for it. For example, the parent could be liable for negligence because a driver has to drive in a safe way and if he/she knew that the minor was a danger, the parent would be responsible for the damages. According to this, the answer is that the minor's parents or guardians who signed the consent form are responsible.
