Question
Question regarding the declaration of accompaniment for a driver's license: is there a concern of the prohibition of lying? 1) A person who has learned to drive and passed the test but is under 24 years old is not allowed to drive without an accompanist (attached is a screenshot detailing the rules) unless they declare they have driven 50 hours with an accompanist. 2) Most people falsely declare this. 3) The declaration is made online and is (apparently) accepted automatically (so there is no lie to a real person). 4) Without this declaration, it is forbidden to drive without an accompanist, and it involves license revocation. The question: is there any allowance to make a false declaration in such a case? If more details are needed for the answer, I would be happy to provide them. Thank you very much
Answer
It is forbidden to lie.
