Can an operator with a Learner Permit drive with passengers?

An operator with a Learner Permit is typically required to follow specific guidelines regarding passengers. The correct understanding is that all personnel in the vehicle must have fixed seats and be using seat belt devices. This regulation is in place to ensure the safety of both the learner driver and any passengers in the vehicle.

While different jurisdictions may have varying rules, the common practice is to restrict learner drivers from having non-licensed passengers to limit distractions and enhance safety during the learning process. Therefore, the regulation emphasizes that every occupant must be secured, and it typically aligns with the broader principles of driving safety and responsibility that are central to the training and education provided to new drivers.
