What does a learner license allow the holder to do?

A learner license is specifically designed to allow individuals who are in the process of learning to drive to operate a motor vehicle, but with certain restrictions to ensure safety. The primary function of a learner license is to enable the holder to practice their driving skills under supervision. This involves allowing the learner to operate a type of motor vehicle on a highway while accompanied by an experienced driver, typically someone who is fully licensed and has sufficient driving experience.

This structure of supervision is in place to provide guidance and support to the learner, helping them to develop their driving skills in a safer environment. The requirement to have an experienced driver present also mitigates the risks associated with a novice driver being on the road alone.

The other options do not accurately reflect the limitations and purpose of a learner license. For instance, operating any type of vehicle independently would be unsafe and is not permitted with a learner license. Similarly, driving without restrictions after passing the driving test refers to the privileges granted by a full license, not a learner permit. Lastly, a learner license does require the holder to carry the license while driving; operating a vehicle without needing to carry the license is not applicable to any valid driving permit or license.
