I have a learner's license for a geared bike in India. And I want to know if according to indian governmental laws, can a citizen ride a geared bike alone with a learner's license.
I tried searching this on the web and came across this discussion where some people claim that it is allowed. Below I've quoted one statement from the mentioned discussion:
Simply put,
For 2 wheelers - Yes. Its legal to ride “alone”. If you have a person in pillion, He/she should be with valid permanent driving licence.
For 4 wheelers - No. You cannot drive alone But only with a person with valid permanent driving licence.
In both Bike and car, ‘L’ sign is mandatory in front and backside of vehicle(Red on white format).
(emphasis mine)
As we can see, the author of the above comment claims that it is legal for a 2 wheeler. But in the same discussion some other people say that it is illegal.
So I want to know whether it is legal or illegal as per indian govt. laws to ride a 2 wheeler alone with a learner's license. Basically, I want a authoritative reference to some clause(s) from where we can find whether it is allowed or not.
