Learner's permit holders may drive when accompanied by an driver who is licensed, who is at least 21 years of age, who has at least one year of driving experience, and who is occupying a seat beside the driver.

There are no restrictions for additional passengers to my knowledge.

I believe you may be thinking of a Junior Operators License, which prohibits recently licensed drivers from having passengers in some circumstances.

I had thought it was 18 but maybe 21, but for sure any person W/ learners permit must drive with a fully licensed driver with one year of driving experience.

I think it’s legal but not sure it’s a great idea, depending on if the other person would sue you if you crash.

What, exactly, would be the legal theory for suing someone because they had an unlicensed passenger in the car?

If you have a learners permit only and crash your car and your passenger gets hurt or dies, would it be possible to be sued by the family of the passenger because you only had a permit? Idk tbh my comment was supposed to be framed more of like a question.

You could be sued for injuring a passenger in a crash you caused if you had a full operators license.

Yeah just wasn’t sure if it was worse if you only got a permit.
