Automobile (Passenger Vehicle)
An accompanying driver is a person who guides and assists a learner driver during the learning period.
With this module, which speaks to both the learner driver and the accompanying driver, you will learn about the role and responsibilities of accompanying drivers, as well as the conditions that facilitate accompanied driving. You will also receive practical advice to help the accompanying driver fulfill his or her duties.
To serve as an accompanying driver, a person must:
- have held a valid Class5 licence to drive a passenger vehicle for at least two years
- know the various driving techniques and be able to explain them to the learner driver
- adopt safe, cooperative and responsible behaviour
Holders of a probationary licence are not authorized to serve as an accompanying driver. Furthermore, the number of years during which a person held a probationary licence cannot be included in the required two years of driving experience.
We recommend that accompanying drivers read the Accompanying Rider'sGuide (PDF,636.5ko) before undertaking accompanied driving.
Recommended reading
We recommend that you read all of Module 6 in your driving school manual.
