What must a learner driver have in order to practice driving?

A learner driver is required to practice driving with a fully licensed adult in the vehicle to ensure their safety and compliance with legal regulations. This adult must hold a valid driver's license and have sufficient driving experience to provide guidance and support. Having someone in the passenger seat who can intervene or provide instruction is crucial for a learner who may still be developing their skills and decision-making abilities on the road.

While there are other factors that can facilitate the learning process, such as having a professional instructor or written permission from a parent, these do not replace the necessity of having a licensed adult present in the vehicle. The presence of an experienced driver provides immediate feedback and enhances the learning experience, making it a cornerstone requirement for learner drivers in Nova Scotia.
