General may issue to a person a learner’s permit authorising the person
to drive a motor vehicle on a road solely for the purpose of learning to drive
it.
(2) The permit does
not authorise driving except in the course of driving instruction
by —

holder of a licence issued under the Motor Vehicle Drivers
Instructors Act 1963 ; or
(b)
anyone else prescribed in the regulations.
(3) The permit must

at the end of a period of 3 years after the day on which it is issued unless
it has terminated before then, and the Director General may cancel it at any
time by notice in writing given to the permit holder.

occasion undue hardship or inconvenience, a person cannot be issued with a
learner’s permit.
