Question
Please can someone advise me what is the rule regarding learner drivers?
Are they allowed to drive alone with a valid learners license?
Answer
A learner driver must be accompanied by a licensed driver. The licensed driver must be seated next to or directly behind the learner driver.
In addition should the vehicle require the driver to have a professional driving permit PrDP (e.g. heavy load vehicle, heavy passenger vehicle, a minibus designed to carry more than 12 persons including the driver or a breakdown vehicle) the licensed driver must be in possession of a valid PrDP.
