Learners Driver Insurance


All 4 of mine had their own learner insurance from Collingwood. About £300 for the year. Think we got a refund when they passed their test before the year was up. That was for their own car (A cheap banger before anyone pipes up) usually a 1.1 or 1.2.
 
Your car must:
  • have no warning lights showing, for example, the airbag warning light
  • have no tyre damage and meet the legal tread depth on each tyre - you must not have a space-saver spare tyre
  • be roadworthy
  • be fitted with an extra interior rear-view mirror for the examiner
  • be fitted with a passenger seatbelt and a passenger head restraint for the examiner (slip-on types are not allowed)
  • be able to reach at least 62mph and have an mph speedometer
  • be fitted with L-plates (‘L’ or ‘D’ plates in Wales) on the front and rear
  • have 4 wheels and meet the maximum authorised mass (MAM) limit

Tax and insurance​

Your car must:
  • be taxed
  • have a current MOT (if it’s over 3 years old)
  • be insured for a driving test (check with your insurance company)

The daughter didn’t have an extra rear view mirror but the examiner provided their own, it’s best to make sure you have one though as not all of them will.
 
Oldest just did his test in my car, standard ford focus, we got a stick on mirror in Halfords and magnetic l plates. Added him to my insurance explained he would be doing the test in the car, month insurance and test cost 90 quid
