who is responsible for the financial consequences of a minor’s driving?
○ the flhsmv is responsible because it issued the license to the minor
○ the minor’s parents or guardians who signed the consent form are responsible
○ the police who monitor driving
○ the minor is solely responsible for all financial obligations

Explanation:

In most cases, when a minor (a person under legal age) obtains a driver's license, their parents or guardians who signed the consent form for the minor to get the license are held responsible for the financial consequences of the minor's driving. The FLHSMV (Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles) issues the license but isn't responsible for financial consequences. Police monitor driving but don't bear financial liability for a minor's driving. Minors typically lack the financial capacity or legal standing to be solely responsible for all financial obligations related to their driving.

Answer:

B. The minor’s parents or guardians who signed the consent form are responsible
