What is the penalty for driving without a licensed driver while holding a JOL permit?

Driving without a licensed driver while holding a Junior Operator License (JOL) permit results in a 60-day suspension for the first offense. This penalty is designed to enforce the regulations established for junior operators, who are still learning to drive and are required to have a licensed adult in the vehicle to provide guidance and ensure safety. The law acknowledges that this requirement is crucial in fostering responsible driving habits and in enhancing the safety of all road users.

The suspension serves as a strong deterrent, reinforcing the importance of following the rules associated with having a JOL. Such consequences highlight the responsibility that comes with being a young driver and emphasize the need for supervision during the learning phase. The stakes are high when it comes to road safety, making this penalty a critical part of the licensing system.
