Is it legal to drive with a learner's permit alone?

  1. Yes, if you are a responsible driver

  2. No, a licensed driver must accompany you

  3. Yes, but only during daylight hours

  4. No, unless it's an emergency

The correct answer is: No, a licensed driver must accompany you

Driving with just a learner's permit is not permitted unless a licensed driver accompanies you. This requirement is in place to ensure that new drivers are supervised while they gain experience behind the wheel. Having a licensed adult in the car provides a safety net, allowing the learner to receive guidance and assistance if needed, thus reducing the risk of accidents. While some may believe that responsible driving alone or certain restrictions during specific times might be acceptable, the law explicitly states that supervision is mandatory for learner drivers. This aims to promote safe driving habits and ensure that learners are adequately prepared before obtaining a full driver's license.
