How does SGI define a ‘qualified supervisor’ for restricted drivers?

The definition of a ‘qualified supervisor’ for restricted drivers is based on the criteria that ensure safety and competence in driving supervision. A person holding a valid Class 5 license with at least 3 years of driving experience fulfills these criteria, providing both legal authorization and a sufficient level of practical experience. This experience is crucial for guiding the restricted driver in developing their skills and understanding of road rules, as the supervisor is expected to provide informed guidance and feedback.

Having a valid Class 5 license ensures that the supervisor is familiar with the current road regulations and requirements. The additional requirement of having at least 3 years of driving experience enables the supervisor to offer a level of mentorship based on substantial driving knowledge, which is essential for teaching safe driving practices and responsible behavior on the road.
