but i can drive alone?

Dude, yes you can drive alone. Just click the link, and read about it.
You will have to pass a much tougher class, will be under a curfew, and if yoiu break any laws while driving and are stopped, such as speeding, passengers, phone etc, you will be suspended.

okay..sorry

do you have your license already? If you got it before the laws came into effect you're still under the old laws.
