can a learner driver have passengers

In Australia, whether a learner driver can have passengers depends on the state or territory. Generally, learners can only carry passengers if a fully licensed driver is present in the front passenger seat. This is because the supervising driver must be able to take control immediately if needed. Some states have additional restrictions, like limiting the number of passengers or requiring specific conditions during certain hours. Always check the local road authority for precise rules, but the bottom line is: no solo joyrides with mates until you graduate from learner status!
