I don't know about everywhere else but in ontario there has to be a person who has had there full license for at least five years in the front seat with you and they have to have a 0 BAC. I think this is very similar to most other country's and their laws. This only applies to a new driver of course.

Actually the driver isn't legalized to drive without a sober driver in the car because whoever posted this only has their temps

Ok. I didn't know about a permit. Here in India, we have a learners licence which is then upgraded to licence after passing a test within one year. It is illegal to drive only if we don't have both of them. :)

Actually ur wrong about Ontario the fully licensed person just can't be over 0.08 BAC any driver under 22 must have 0 BAC tho

#55, in India it is legal to drive with a learner's permit only if you have someone with a valid driver's license in the passenger seat. People may not always follow such laws here but that doesn't mean these laws don't exist.

And what is he supposed to do with that? Lol

Someone give #5 an award

How exactly would op do that... You ned a licensed adult driver in the front seat with you.

There are going to be plenty of other ways that OP can make up being taken care of by their parents ... But not this way...Shitty parenting. I feel for OP

True. How many times have the parents driven that kid around for years? But they should at least wait until OP has their license instead of permit to be legal and safer driving them drunk.

The parents chose to make those "sacrifices" when they chose to have a child. No child should ever feel in debt to their parents for raising them. It is not like our children just show up at the door one day and demand we take care of them. Sorry OP, your parents are idiot and selfish. FYL indeed.

I somewhat agree with your statement.OP's parents were very wrong in their actions so I'm not supporting that.When a child becomes an adult they should feel an amount of debt to their parents in the form of gratitude and possibly taking care of their parents when they need it.The parents raise and sacrifice for the child and then one day the roles reverse.OP is still a child now though so it doesn't really apply yet.

No, still don't think kids should feel in debt to their parents. Gratitude yes, but not debt. I want my kids to take care of me when I need it because they love me and care about me, not because they feel like they owe me. Having debt involves a bank or something like that, not parents.

I said debt in the form of gratitude.I understand what you're saying though.I don't want my kids to feel they are in debt to me either.I,on the other hand, feel I owe my parents a lot.Had it not been for their continued sacrifices for me(even to this day) I would have nothing.I couldn't call it a debt because I can never repay what they have given me.I can only do my best to return the favor.That is the point I was trying to make.

I think ANYWHERE your instructor has to be sober

My parents hired a driving instructor to teach me while I had my learner's permit; he read his newspaper the whole time. Didn't even look up when I was getting beeps by the angry drivers surrounding me! :P

here a permit is just a permit. you get a provisionals when you pass your test.

#33 I can understand the confusion with the words but if the OP was allowed to drive without his parents being in the car then why not drop them off and pick them up later vs having to wait in the car?
