For how long must a learner driver’s accompanying driver have held their full Category B license?

The requirement for a learner driver to have an accompanying driver who has held a full Category B license for at least two years is based on the understanding that a more experienced driver can provide better guidance, support, and supervision. This two-year period ensures that the accompanying driver has sufficient experience and knowledge of road rules, driving conditions, and safe driving practices, which can greatly benefit the learner.

The experience gained over two years equips the accompanying driver to better assist the learner in developing their skills and confidence behind the wheel. This rule helps promote safer driving habits and provides a structured environment for the learner to gain valuable experience before taking their driving test.
