To be able to drive on public roads with a provisional licence, as well as being accompanied, you need to make sure you have L-Plates (or D-Plates in Wales.) They need to be easily visible at both the front and back of the car you are driving, and they need to be removed or covered up whenever someone who has passed their test is driving.
L-Plates have to meet a legal specification, so buy them rather than trying to make them yourself. The best option is magnetic L-Plates that just snap onto the car bonnet and boot - you can find them in most big supermarkets and more specialist shops like Halfords. Some people also opt to have P-Plates for a time after theyve passed to ensure that people give them slightly more space and are more sympathetic just after theyve passed.
