What restriction code requirement applies to sex offenders?

• A. They must obtain a general driver's license.
• B. They must surrender all driving privileges.
• C. Registered sex offenders must obtain a specific restriction code on their TN Driver's License.
• D. No restrictions are required on license.

Answer: (C)

In Tennessee, the driver license system uses restriction codes to communicate special conditions tied to a driver’s status. For registered sex offenders, the law requires a specific restriction code to be placed on the TN Driver’s License. This code provides a clear, official notice to law enforcement and other authorities about the offender’s status, helping ensure compliance with registration and related obligations and informing enforcement during any traffic stop. It’s not about general licensing or surrendering driving privileges, and there are indeed restrictions in place for this situation to reflect legal requirements.
