You’ve probably heard that learner drivers in South Africa are not allowed to have passengers in the car with them. This is true, but there are some exceptions. In this blog post, we’ll explain when a learner driver can have passengers in the car and when they can’t.
One exception to the rule about learner drivers not being able to have passengers is if the learner driver is accompanied by a qualified driving instructor. This instructor must be sitting in the front passenger seat and must be supervising the learner driver at all times.
Another exception is if the learner driver is accompanied by a family member who is over the age of 21 and has held a full driver’s license for at least two years. This family member must also be sitting in the front passenger seat and must be supervising the learner driver at all times.
So, in summary, a learner driver in South Africa can have passengers in the car if they are accompanied by a qualified driving instructor or a family member who is over the age of 21 and has held a full drivers license for at least two years.
