Reply to comment by Pimp_Daddy_Patty in LPT: If you're teaching someone/learning to drive make sure to practice on the freeway and at night, even if it's scary by Jessieface13

Even while learning with an adult in the passenger seat?

In England (maybe whole of UK?) you can only go on the motorway with a qualified instructor and in a dual controlled car (so the front passenger also has clutch and brake pedals). Recently changed, used to be that you couldn't go on the motorway until you'd passed your test.

That just seems strange. How else are you supposed to learn?

There are 2 levels of learners permit in Ontario.

G1 is as stated above, you basically learn to operate the vehicle in traffic and on roads with a posted speed limit of 80 km/h. You also have to have a licensed driver with you at all times.

You then graduate to a G2 where you can drive on freeways and after dark. As far as I remember, any traffic violations knock you down to G1.

In Ontario Canada we have similar rules. Not allowed on a road with a posted limit above 80 km/h with your g1 (basically a learners permit) unless you're with a licensed driving instructor.
