Learner drivers - Legal experts help required.

[Comefromaway]

Can anyone point me to the actual legislation whether it be the The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) (No. 3) Regulations 2020 and 2021 amendments or the Road Traffic Act or Motor Vehicles (Driving Licence) Regulations or anything else, where it says that a Learner Driver cannot drive at all, even if making an essential journey with a member of their own household.

Eg. if I give my child a lift to work according to gov.uk & various people’s interpretations including a local 6th form, they cannot be the driver.

But I can’t find any actual legislation that says that.

Lordy. So they're in the process of updating it again, having last updated it four days ago. I hope various local constabulories have the time to keep up, I really do.

Op. I can see you’re determined to not go with the guidance if you can’t find a law to state it and understand a fine

Getting a fine depends on there being a law (or regulation). No law = no fine.

Change in private practice guidance
Government guidance is very clear that people should be staying at home to save lives and protect the NHS unless the trip is essential. A journey solely for driver learning purposes is not considered essential.
However, current guidance has been reviewed and updated. You can only practise driving with members of your household or support bubble as part of travel for work, education or other essential journeys.
This position is the same in England, Scotland and Wales.
Thank you

Thanks @justaweeone really glad this has been clarified and we weren’t breaking any rules.
