I have a provisional driving licence and whilst being supervised, I drove through a red traffic light. The car is registered under the supervisor’s name and we were complying with “driving with provisional licence” regulations.  Who gets the penalty?

Even though you are a provisional licence holder, you are expected to exercise the same standard of driving as that of a full licence holder. Consequently, you will be convicted of this offence. In theory, the supervising driver could also be found guilty of an offence (failing to supervise) but if he can show that he was actively attempting to prevent the error, any allegation against him should be dismissed.
