[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope--I'm assuming the terms of the provisional license prohibit driving others unless there's a licensed driver with X years experience in the car?  If there's an accident, your insurance is going to raise holy hell.  Not worth it.  [/quote]

Exactly this.[/quote]

In VA, "If you are under age 18, you may carry only one (non-family) passenger under age 21, unless accompanied by a licensed parent, or other adult acting in place of a parent, in the front passenger seat." (cited from the DMV website, addition in parentheses mine to clarify).  So it would be legal.  Whether or not it's advisable is a different story, and for me would depend on a number of factors including the route driven, my kids' driving skills, the friend in question, and COVID concerns.[/quote]

That is only for the first year they hold their license. 
In Virginia...
“The driver can only carry one passenger under 21 years old for the first year. After the first year, the holder can transport up to three passengers under 21 years old if going to a school function or if supervised by a licensed driver who’s at least 21 years old. This restriction does not apply to family member and cohabitant passengers.”[/quote]
