Is additional insurance required to sit with a learner driver?
Answers:
no not to sit with the driver when I learned to drive in the early 90s, although as the owner of the car, you should tell you company that a person with a provisional licence (and they must have one) is going to be driving the car with you at their side. Then they will, of course, ask you for more money :o)) as it the way of the world.
No i don't think so.
No, but they need insurance to drive.
no the learner should be insured to drive the car you are in however you are responsible for the learner and if they have no insurance tis you who will get nicked
yes and you need L plates
No additional Insurance is required for the Sitter - they just need to be qualified to drive the vehicle the learner is driving
No its not,as long as you have been driving for over 3 yrs you are allowed to do this with no additional insurance.
Not for the supervising passenger. They need to be 'suitably qualified' (having held a full licience for 3yrs or more) & the learner needs insurance for the vehicle -
note:the car is usually just insured and not the individual as with some full licience holder insurance. This means that the learner can only drive the one car he/she is insured for.
no the learner driver must be insured themselves
No, However if its going to be done on a regular basis then it might be worth considering putting yourself on the insurance as you never know when your learner will panick and you will have to take control and drive the car yourself. If its family or a friend and its their own insurance sometimes it helps to have an additional driver on the insurance and could bring the preimum down. On my first insurance i had my partner as an additional driver and it saved me nearly £200 on my preimium. Which was a hugh saving at the time. If its not and you will be teaching different people in their own cars then liability insurance is needed.
No but the person needs to hold a full drivers licence & if they have a car then they would be insured
