Questão jurídica principal
Whether a learner driver can be punished under Art. 14(1) MFG for traffic-law violations committed while driving under supervision.
Decisão extraída
As a rule, the sanctions threatened by federal motor vehicle law apply to the accompanying licensed driver, not to the learner driver.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 14(1) MFG makes the learner drive only in the company of a licensed person who bears responsibility as driver. The statutory penalties therefore primarily target the accompanying person, who must know and obey the traffic rules. The court saw no basis here for attributing separate fault to the learner driver.
