Immediate Family?

Question

I recently got my Washington State "Intermediate License" and one of the restrictions involves immediate family members. Do nieces and nephews count as immediate family?

Answer 1

NO! Only those in your household.

Answer 2

Washington state law specifies:

(2) For the first six months after the issuance of an intermediate license or until the holder reaches eighteen years of age, whichever occurs first, the holder of the license may not operate a motor vehicle that is carrying any passengers under the age of twenty who are not members of the holder's immediate family as defined in RCW 42.17.020. For the remaining period of the intermediate license, the holder may not operate a motor vehicle that is carrying more than three passengers who are under the age of twenty who are not members of the holder's immediate family.

(26) "Immediate family" includes the spouse or domestic partner, dependent children, and other dependent relatives, if living in the household.
