who can teach a learner driver sa

In South Australia, a learner can be taught by a Qualified Supervising Driver or a licensed driving instructor—no wizardry, just the rules. A Qualified Supervising Driver must hold a full (unrestricted) car licence for that class (not Ls or Ps), sit in the front passenger seat, stay under 0.05 BAC and drug‑free, and give clear directions. Family or friends can supervise if they meet those requirements; P‑platers can’t. Make sure L‑plates are displayed front and rear and that any required logbook hours are recorded. Professional instructors are great for polishing technique, while supervised practice builds hours without emptying the wallet. When in doubt, check the latest from Service SA before heading out.
