It is an offence for a learner permit holder to drive unless they are accompanied by a fully licenced driver.

A more recent amendment allows a vehicle driven by an unaccompanied driver to be seized and has also introduced penalties for car owners who knowingly permit their vehicles to be taken by an unaccompanied learner driver.
