    Yes you can, strangely enough. But only on your 2nd provisional. i think it says so in "The rules of the road" book.

    People are idiots who don't listen to the news, but draw their own conclusions from what they've overheard. There's been no change to the law, or it's enforcement, sadly.

    Take a look at your license, it will be clearly marked on the right hand side if you must be accompanied by the full license holder, which in your case with a 2nd provo it will not. 3rd provo will be marked.

    Just to clarify this further: you are ONLY allowed to drive unaccompanied on your second provisional licence. Not on your first, third, fourth, fifth, yada, yada.
    If you fail the test with your third licence, you shouldn't be allowed to drive on the roads ever. AFAIK in Germany, you have to do some psychological test if you fail the driving test a few times. But I could just be making that up, I don't know.

    It is the stated intention of the government to remove the dispensation for second provisionals, but it's not been changed yet.
