Is it legal to drive with a learner’s permit without an experienced driver present?

Answer: B — No, a fully licensed driver must be present

Driving with a learner’s permit requires that an experienced, fully licensed driver be present in the vehicle at all times. This requirement is in place to ensure the safety of both the learner and others on the road. The licensed driver must be able to provide guidance, support, and supervision as the learner practices their driving skills. Options that suggest it's legal to drive without an experienced driver, whether with a passenger, during certain hours, or even in emergencies, do not align with the standard regulations governing learner's permits. These provisions are designed to mitigate the risks associated with inexperienced drivers and reinforce the importance of having an experienced presence to help navigate driving scenarios safely.
