Is it safe for someone to drive a car in a parade a week after they have passed their test?

Is there any insurance reason why someone cannot do this?

Answers:
Driving in a parade can be very different from normal driving. Like racing on a race track at high speeds requires considerable experience. Driving at stop & go low speeds, as in a parade has a special set of rules & one should have considerable driving experience.
Your insurance company may not be liabel in this instance, since you have "chosen" to drive in an un-safe, specialized environment. This would apply in the same way for racecar drivers. Sometimes the parade organizers provide a special, temporary liability insurance for drivers in the event.
I dont see a reason why not, as long as they have a license and insurance then go for it
if it's a slow parade , yes
No! I pray..don't do it! Ahhhhhhh!
if you are confident , if u have a license and insurance , and if u are confident no one wil get hurt..then go for it..
also..takin a frnd who can drive a car will help
Yes they can. As soon as that licence is in their hands, they can drive where ever they want.

If they have to ask a question like this though, that tells me that they are not confident enough yet though.

I would advise that they do a lot of driving in the week to gain the confidence needed to be on the road full stop.

A lot of people fail their tests several times over so this person (if it's not you) should feel proud on themselves and GO FOR IT.
Depends how good they are.
just doesn't sound like a good idea to me. too many people COULD get hurt.why risk anyone's health and saftey?.... then none of my loved ones will be along your parade route So.. HAVE AT IT!
no insurance reason
drive an automatic its just easier in a parade
once a person has obtained a drivers licence they have the "privlege" to drive just like everyone else
not safe!
you'll be fine to drive in a parade on a public highway, as long as your have a valid British driving licence, so if you passed last week, then your fine. just make sure you have good clutch control.
yes why not, they have insurance then its ok
I don't know about other countries, but in England it's not illegal and you will still be covered by your insurance if you wish to drive in a Parade. As long as you are confident enough and have good clutch control then you'll be fine..otherwise I wouldn't do it just yet. The last thing you would want to end up doing is either 'bunny-hopping' or causing the car to suddenly jolt forward, with the risk of injuring somebody.
yes
if you are driving it privately there is no reason whey you can not drive it in a parade in other words if no one is paying you to drive the car you can. a normal insurance should cover it
