The holder of a driver education learner permit may operate a motor vehicle only while he or she is currently enrolled in a driver education course and while participating in practice driving either (a) when accompanied by a certified driving instructor in the front seat of a car equipped with dual foot controls, or (b) when accompanied by a parent or guardian in the front passenger seat who holds a valid operator, chauffeur, or public passenger chauffeur license.

Once the holder of a driver education learner permit has successfully completed the driver education program and the driver education instructor validates the permit (i.e.; classroom and behind -the -wheel grades, school stamp(s) or seal, completion date an instructor signature) then the holder may participate in practice driving if the front passenger seat is occupied by a parent, guardian, stepparent or other relative with a valid driver license in his or her possession.
