If they're a licensed driver supervising a learner's permit driver, yes.
No. The supervising driver MUST, by law, be in possession of a valid licence.
You must have a fully licenced driver supervising you.
Since they are not physically "operating" the vehicle, no, they don't.
The job requirements for a transportation driver are vary from state to state. One of them is that a driver possess a Commercial Driver's License - Class B with Passenger endorsement.
Yes, Just for checking and supervising the magnetic alignment (Change of poles) over the rails.
It's a gray area. I know that if you drive in a state and you have a learners permit form another state, your supervising driver is responsible. It's a gray area. I know that if you drive in a state and you have a learners permit form another state, your supervising driver is responsible.
If your licence is suspended, you may not drive, period, nor may you be a supervising driver of someone operating a vehicle with a learner's permit - state laws require that the permit holder be supervised by a licenced driver.
In NZ, where I live, sitting in the front passenger seat is standard practice.
= The Law : For the Supervising Driver = The supervising driver must * be at least 21 years old * have a full driving licence (for the type of vehicle they are supervising in - manual or automatic), which must have been held for a minimum of three years. * be insured to drive the vehicle and to have placed the learner driver on the insurance policy * ensure the car is in a safe and legal condition * meet the minimum eyesight standards * ensure the car displays L Plates (or D Plates in Wales) if a learner is driving Age and Driving Licence of the Supervising Driver To help ensure that the supervising driver is likely to have significantly more driving experience than the learner, the law sets a minimum age of 21 years for anyone who is supervising a learner driver. The law also requires that the supervising driver has held their full driving licence for at least three years. This prevents someone who has only just passed their Test, and so not had time to gain sufficient driving experience, from supervising a learner. Insurance Make sure that your car insurance policy includes the learner. Take note of any restrictions. Condition of the Car The supervising driver must ensure that the car is in a safe and legal condition, including being properly licensed, taxed and MOT'd. It is a good idea to have the car checked and serviced before starting private practice. You must also ensure that L Plates (or D Plates in Wales) are displayed whenever a learner is driving. Remember to remove them after each practice drive. Eyesight You must meet the minimum eyesight standard for driving. In good daylight, you must be able to read an old style A111ABC number plates from a distance of 20.5m or a new style AB11ABC number plate from a distance of 20m If you need glasses or contact lenses to read these number plates then they must wear them when supervising a learner. If in doubt, visit an optician for expert advice. Other Restrictions When you are supervising a learner driver, you have the same legal responsibilities as if you were driving. For example, the drink drive laws and the ban on using mobile phone applies to anyone who is supervising a learner - you are deemed to be in control of the vehicle. It is illegal to receive any payment for accompanying a learner driver, unless you are an Approved Driving Instructor and hold the ADI certificate from the Driving Standards Agency.
A provisional driver is one until they complete the full requirements.
You must be accompanied by an Adult Supervising Driver (at least 21 years old and licensed to drive for at least 3 years) in the front seat.
