Final answer:

It is generally true that teens with probationary licenses have restrictions, such as not being allowed to drive alone at night. Regarding the reference scenarios, police might be skeptical of being blinded by a full moon, while a medical emergency could justify breaking certain traffic rules in a safely assessed situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question regarding whether a teen with a probationary license can drive alone late at night generally pertains to specific driving laws that vary by state or country. Typically, it is true that there are restrictions for probationary, or junior drivers, licensed drivers that may include nighttime driving limitations. These restrictions are often in place to help ensure the safety of inexperienced drivers by preventing them from driving during more hazardous conditions, such as late at night when visibility is reduced and fatigue may impair driving ability.

As for the scenarios provided for reference, whether a driver can be momentarily blinded by the Moon is a bit more complex. The full moon is bright, but it is unlikely to cause the kind of blinding effect that strong artificial lights can. Therefore, police might be skeptical of the claim. As for the situation with the pregnant woman, while normally one must adhere to traffic laws, circumstances such as a medical emergency can sometimes justify breaking a traffic rule, such as running a red light, especially when it is safely determined there are no other vehicles around and the action is taken to prevent greater harm.
