When driving with a learner's licence, you must carry it with you. Traffic officers may request to see it during roadside checks. Driving without your learner's licence when required can result in fines. Your learner's licence proves you are legally authorised to drive under supervision. It shows your licence category, expiry date and any conditions. Keep it in a safe but accessible place in the vehicle. Remember, a learner's licence only allows supervised driving. You must be accompanied by a licensed driver qualified for the vehicle category. The supervisor's licence must also be valid.
