My friend has a British Columbia learner’s licence which requires that she has an eligible supervisor with her when she’s driving. Can she drive in an empty parking lot without a supervisor? Or is she prohibited from driving there, too – the same as on a road? – Raman
After Costco closes, that empty parking lot might seem like an ideal place to let a learning driver go alone.
But, in every province except, Ontario, if you’ve got a learner’s permit, you can’t drive alone anywhere that’s accessible to the public.
