Can you drive alone with a learner's permit?

A learner's permit is intended for individuals who are in the process of learning to drive. The regulation that requires a learner's permit holder to be accompanied by a licensed adult driver is vital for ensuring safety on the roads. This adult is responsible for supervising the driving practice, providing guidance, and stepping in if the learner encounters a situation that requires more experienced judgment. Having a licensed adult present helps to ensure that the learner drives in a controlled and safe manner, reducing the risk of accidents.

In contrast, driving alone is discouraged because learners may not have the necessary skills or experience to handle all driving situations independently. This restriction is designed to protect both the learner and other road users until the individual has demonstrated sufficient driving competency and is ready to obtain a full driver's license.
