Drunk qualified driver while learner is driving ?

[ExPat2B]

Putting aside questions of if being "in charge " and drunk while a learner drives ( provisional licence ) is a good thing or not, what is the actual law ?

Accompaniment Requirements
All provisional licence holders, with the exception of those who hold provisional licences in category A1, A, M or W or those who hold a second such licence in category B, are required to be accompanied by a qualified driver at all times while driving. A qualified driver is a person who holds a full licence in the vehicle category being driven by the provisional licence holder.


Says nothing about soberiety of Qualified Driver.

Putting aside the bit that matters?!?

It's not legal. You are supervising...and therefore can't even (I think!) technically be using a mobile.

But the High Court in DPP. v Jarman [2004] does.
