From what I understand, If a minor holds a learners permit, they can only drive as long as someone the age of 21 or older with a valid driver's license is accompanying in the passenger seat. Can they have a minor in the backseat as well? or is only the Adult allowed in the vehicle?

Basically can a minor with a learners permit drive with an Adult over the age of 21, AND a minor at the same time, or is no on else allowed in the car.​

The specific laws regarding learners permits and passengers vary depending on the state or country in which you reside. In general, however, most states in the US allow a minor with a learners permit to drive as long as a licensed driver over the age of 21 is present in the vehicle. Some states may have additional restrictions, such as limiting the number of passengers that can be in the vehicle.

In terms of minors being in the backseat, it again depends on the specific laws of your state or country. Some states may allow minors to be in the backseat as long as a licensed driver over 21 is present, while others may restrict the number of passengers altogether. It's important to check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles or equivalent agency to understand the specific laws and regulations in your area.
