What should a driver do if they hold a conditional license and want to drive unsupervised?

The correct course of action for a driver holding a conditional license who wishes to drive unsupervised is to renew the license to full status. A conditional license is often issued under restrictions, typically requiring supervision while driving. To transition to an unrestricted or full license, the driver must usually meet certain criteria that may include age requirements or specific completion of driving requirements set by the licensing authority.

Renewing to full status typically signifies that the driver has fulfilled the necessary requirements outlined when the conditional license was issued, which often includes demonstrating safe driving practices over a certain period. Successfully obtaining a full license allows the driver to operate their vehicle independently and without supervision, which is the ultimate goal for someone with a conditional license.

While completing a defensive driving course or passing a road test could enhance a driver's skills or knowledge, these actions alone would not grant unsupervised driving privileges if the driver has not renewed their conditional license to full status. Similarly, if age restrictions are part of the conditional licensing terms, simply waiting without taking any action would also not lead to unsupervised driving rights.
