What is required for permit holders who wish to drive during nighttime hours?

Permit holders wishing to drive during nighttime hours are required to have a licensed driver present. This measure is in place to ensure that novice drivers gain experience under safer conditions, particularly during more challenging driving situations that occur at night. Having an experienced driver in the vehicle provides guidance, support, and an added layer of safety, which is crucial for those still learning the rules of the road and honing their driving skills.

Having a licensed driver present helps the permit holder navigate unfamiliar or difficult driving environments, such as low visibility conditions or increased traffic, while also allowing for immediate assistance if needed. This policy aims to promote safer driving habits and reduce the risk of accidents among inexperienced drivers, especially during nighttime when the potential for hazards is greater.
