Can a learner's permit holder drive without a licensed adult?

A learner's permit holder is required to have a licensed adult present in the vehicle at all times while driving. This is a crucial part of the regulations surrounding a learner's permit, as it is designed to ensure that inexperienced drivers receive proper guidance and supervision. The licensed adult is responsible for providing instruction, ensuring safety, and helping the learner develop their driving skills in a controlled environment. This requirement underscores the importance of having an experienced driver accompany the learner to help them navigate the complexities of driving.

Other scenarios, such as driving solo after completing a certain number of practice hours or only during daylight, do not align with the regulations. The intent of the learner's permit is to create a safe learning environment while preventing unaccompanied driving, which could lead to higher risks of accidents for less experienced drivers. Similarly, driving with a sibling who holds a full license is also not permissible under standard learner's permit regulations, as it does not meet the requirement of having a licensed adult, typically over a certain age, who is responsible for the learner’s driving.
