Final answer:

When your driver's license expires, you are not legally permitted to drive, with no grace period; you must renew it before expiration. Options suggesting that you can still drive in any capacity with an expired license are incorrect. Consequences for driving with an expired license can include fines and penalties.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Your Driver's License Expires:

When your driver's license expires, the immediate legal status of your ability to drive changes. According to most state laws, you are not allowed to drive with an expired license. There is no grace period of 90 days; therefore, option 1 is incorrect. You also cannot drive as long as you are accompanied by a licensed driver, making option 2 incorrect.

As for option 3 while it is true that you may not drive with an expired license, you typically have the ability to renew your license sometimes within a specific period after the expiration (however, this period varies by state and isn't necessarily a year). Option 4 is also incorrect as an expired license does not give you the legal right to drive to and from work only.

It is crucial to renew your driver's license before it expires to maintain your legal driving status. If caught driving with an expired license, you could face fines, penalties, or other legal consequences depending on your state's laws. Always check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for specific rules and regulations regarding license expiration and renewal procedures.
