Question
Is it legal for somebody to drive a vehicle on private property (eg the parking area of a residential complex) if they are underage (younger than
18) and do not have a driver's licence?
Answer
A road that is used by other members of the public is not deemed to be a private road even if that road is in a residential complex. It is therefore a requirement to be fully licensed to operate that vehicle or if possession of a learner's licence to be accompanied by a fully licensed person.
