One of my sprogs with a provisional licence has asked me to supervise them driving on L plates
They have a car which is insured by them Being ultra cautious, my question is, do I need to be insured on their car to supervise them? This post has been edited by Atomic Tomato: Fri, 3 Feb 2023 - 19:40 |

........ Applying the handbrake before you take it out of gear is the correct order of operations. It's what I was taught over fifty years ago............ Wouldn't argue though is not one I can remember being taught. To me it makes no difference as long as you are in control via the footbrake. Mine tends to be neutral, handbrake, relax Used as an example of the sort of things we do that an examiner may not like but an instructor should know and explain. In the island, to me it relates to what most traffic is doing. Either lane is correct IMO but depends on traffic If left hand lane on entry is tending to use first exit, I am happy to use 2nd lane and merge/cut across to leave the island with care. If left hand traffic is tending to go to second exit, left hand lane is probably safer, especially for a learner. |

I don't think that you are ever going to be wrong to exit the roundabout in the left hand lane & as exiting in the right hand lane is potentially problematic I think that it's wrong to instruct a learner to exit the roundabout in the right hand lane. -------------------- British Parking Association Ltd Code of Practice(Appendix C contains Schedule 4 of POFA 2012 ) & can be found here http://www.britishparking.co.uk/Code-of-Pr...ance-monitoring

Mine tends to be neutral, handbrake, relax Used as an example of the sort of things we do that an examiner may not like but an instructor should know and explain. When I was learning to drive I mostly practised with my father & had been riding a motorcycle for a year but I had about four lessons with a driving instructor just to prepare me for the test. The instructor said that I should stop using the indicators & instead use hand signals. I wound the window down & as we approached the zebra crossing I waved my right arm up & down as I steadied the steering wheel with my knee & changed down the gears with my other hand. The instructor suggested that I avoid such an advanced manoeuvre when taking my test.😀 -------------------- British Parking Association Ltd Code of Practice(Appendix C contains Schedule 4 of POFA 2012 ) & can be found here http://www.britishparking.co.uk/Code-of-Pr...ance-monitoring

When one of my kids was learning he had a specific learner policy (which was actually quite cheap, about 1/4 price of when he passed his test). This specifically allowed for the supervisor to drive, provided it was related to instruction. When sprog 1 was learning we took out a learners policy (from Marmalade) for them on my partners car which covered the supervisor too. I had never heard of Marmalade who seem to specialise in policies for learner drivers. My wife is learning to drive & I thought that this be an option rather than adding her on my insurance so started to get a quote from Marmalade but fell at the first hurdle when I entered her date of birth & received the message:- "You must be under 35 to take out our Learner Driver Insurance" Mrs BB is over 35. |
