What is the penalty for a vehicle owner who allows a learner driver to drive unaccompanied?

The penalty for allowing a learner driver to drive unaccompanied is that their vehicle will be seized. This is a strict enforcement measure put in place to ensure that learner drivers adhere to the regulations that require them to be accompanied by a qualified, experienced driver at all times. This requirement is crucial for the safety of the learner driver and others on the road, as it provides the necessary supervision and guidance that they need to operate a vehicle safely.

Seizing the vehicle serves as a strong deterrent against non-compliance with this regulation. It highlights the seriousness of the offense and reinforces the laws that are designed to protect all road users. Other penalties such as fines, warnings, or points may apply to different infractions, but in the context of a learner driver operating a vehicle without supervision, the immediate consequence is the seizure of the vehicle.
