What is the minimum requirement to supervise a learner driver?

To supervise a learner driver, the requirement is to have held a full licence for at least 5 years. This rule is in place to ensure that the supervising driver has sufficient experience to provide reliable guidance and feedback to the learner. A more experienced driver can better navigate various driving situations, understand potential hazards, and impart driving skills that are crucial for safety on the road.

While having held a full licence for 3 years or being a driving instructor may also suggest some level of experience, the 5-year requirement balances the need for practical driving knowledge with the responsibility of supervising someone who is new to driving. Additionally, while age restrictions can sometimes apply in various contexts, the primary factor for supervision eligibility is the duration of holding a full driving licence.
