I live in Hong Kong and the legal framework is below: The learner licence is legally required for a learner to learn to drive on the road (because driving without a licence is an offence). Once a learner has got the learner licence, he can legally drive on the road under the following restrictive conditions: - in specified times - with an instructor (i.e. with the corresponding instructor licence) aside (except motorcycles) - on a vehicle that the instructor can interfere the braking system (except motorcycles) The learner can drive on all public roads under the above restrictions, except - motorways - roads where a road sign forbidding learner exists (that's *exactly* why this tag is needed).
