Default Taking a learner out

Hi Guys just wondering if any one knows the law in this.
I have a full bike licence.. can i take my gf who is learning to drive a car for a practice lesson? i have looked around and all i have found is that i must have a full licence, there is no mention of car or bike.

Cheers

I've changed the title, and I think you need to have a car license...

I would think you have to have a full licence with car entitlement in order to take your gf out in the car. You haven't passed a test to drive a car so I don't think it would be treated any differently than if you had no licence at all.

hi m8 ,you must hold a full license for the class of vehicle ,in the case of cars you must have held it for 2 yrs and be over 21 yrs old (i think its 21 )to take a learner out
