DKTWhile you hold a car learner permit you must follow every one of these conditions, on top of the normal road rules.
| Condition | What it means |
|---|---|
| Carry your permit | Keep your learner permit card or paper receipt with you whenever you drive. |
| Display L plates | On the front and rear of the vehicle, clearly visible from 20 metres. |
| Have a supervising driver | A driver with a full (not probationary) licence must be with you the whole time you drive. See supervising driver rules. |
| Zero blood alcohol | You must have a BAC of exactly zero at all times while driving. |
| No touching or voice-controlling a device | Set up navigation or audio before you drive. See phone and device rules. |
| No towing | You must not tow a trailer, caravan or another vehicle. |
| Cars only | A car learner permit does not let you drive a bus or truck. |
Breaking these conditions can lead to penalties that may cancel your permit and delay your licence. A suspension or cancellation can also break the continuous learner period you need before applying for your Ps.
