Plan a legal, properly supervised practice drive.

Insurance is essential, but learners and supervisors must also follow the current legal requirements.

✓ Qualified supervisor✓ Required plates✓ Active insurance

Check the current official rules

Supervisor eligibility and learner-driver requirements can change. Check the latest GOV.UK guidance before every practice arrangement rather than relying on a summary.

The supervisor has responsibilities

The supervising driver must be able to take an active supervisory role. Avoid distractions and make sure the journey and vehicle are suitable for the learner’s experience.

Verify the policy

The learner must be insured for the exact vehicle and time. A supervisor’s own insurance does not automatically insure the learner.

Check before you drive

Enter accurate details, review the insurer and regulatory disclosure, and wait for active policy confirmation before driving.
