If you are worried you can add them to your policy ,but it will bang your premium sky high.Normally a learner driver does not have to take out insurance to drive a driving school vehicle ,and it is far better for them at a driving school,instead of picking up your bad driving habits.You can only let them drive your vehicle at your risk(your insurance would not cover any damage caused by them)on private land where the public are not allowed access. |

The clear answer is no but strong caution is advised regarding 'private roads or car parks', private roads/car park become public areas if the public have access to them by inferal or invitation, ie, Sainsbury's car park is subject to certain areas of the Road Traffic Act such as insurance requirements, municipal car parks also come under the legislation with regards to accidents, you can, and if caught probably will, be prosecuted. |

You will have to put the learner driver on your policy if he is going to drive your car. I'm suprised you have had to ask |

No, anyone behind the wheel should be named on your policy unless they have their own policy on another vehicle, in which they can drive your vehicle with third party cover.
You also need to be over 21 and to have held a full licence yourself for 3 years. |

If the car is insured with you as the only named driver then no. |

I don't see why not. I just wouldn't take a person who is just learning to drive on the Highway or anything. We all have to learn sometime, and I wasn't covered on the people who allowed me to drive their car for my learning experience. Who's going to know? Its not like the learner driver goes out looking for an accident. |

no, you have to ring your insurance company and get them put them on, quite expensive to put a learner on though |

I'm afraid not. Not in the UK anyway. All drivers must be insured on the road. However, I suppose you could take them to some unused land or maybe a car park. But definitely not on the road.
They cost a fortune to insure on your insurance too. |

Don't do anything without insurance! Ring up and find out how much it would cost to get them covered. Don't take any risks, you'll both loose your licences. |

Technically no but it depends on where you live......if its a really quiet country road you could get away with it. Wouldnt want to be takin them out on the main roads tho |

Not on the public highways. You would need insurance. You can on private roads, no insurance is required.
Edit: to whichever clowns gave me a thumbs down. Dont you know the law, DOH!
In 1930 the UK government introduced a law that required every person who used a vehicle on the road to have at least third party personal injury insurance. Today UK law is defined by the The Road Traffic Act which was last modified in 1991.
The Act requires all motorists to be insured against their liability for injuries to others (including passengers) and for damage to other persons' property resulting from use of a vehicle on a public road or in other public places. This is called Third Party Insurance. It is an offence to drive your car, or allow others to drive it, without at least Third Party insurance whilst on the public highway, on private land no such legislation applies. |
