When can a learner driver drive without a supervising driver?

A learner driver can drive without a supervising driver after they have passed their road test and received their Class 5 license. This stage signifies that the driver has demonstrated sufficient competence and knowledge of driving rules and safety practices.

Once the learner has successfully completed the road test, they are issued a Class 5 license, which allows them to operate a vehicle independently. This stage represents the transition from being a novice, with restrictions, to a more fully qualified driver. Until this point, learner drivers are required to have a qualified supervising driver accompanying them to ensure their safety and to guide them as they gain experience behind the wheel.

The options related to completing a driving course, driving only during daytime hours, or only on weekends do not accurately reflect the regulations governing learner drivers in Nova Scotia. While completing a driving course can be beneficial, it does not replace the requirement of passing the road test to obtain the full driving privileges associated with a Class 5 license.
