    Right so can somebody tell me as of 12th march 2016 what is the legal limit, of the accompany driver of a learner .

    They say that the accompany driver had to be able to driver and have 2 years full licences experience .

    However being over the limit dosent mean they cant drive it. They may not be legally allowed to drive , but if they weren't insured in that car they couldn't drive either.

    What is the limit and can they be tested .
    This isent a Common sense question or best practices, but can somebody say in law, what the limit is.

    This says they want to bring it in, but in mid 2016. But it's from 2013

    It's an interesting question alright! And it has come up before, I think the general consensus at the time was that you would think that the accompanying driver would have to be within the same drink driving limits as a full license holder. But I don't believe that to be in law anywhere, and I've never heard of a scenario whereby a learner was stopped and the accompanying passenger being breathalised.
