The reason that the learner driver insurance is such a good idea, is because it eliminates the problems associated with getting enough practice before your driving test.We all know that the trick to passing your practical driving test first time is extensive practice and our advice centre centre! This way, you will pass with flying colours. Inevetably, learner driver insurance assists in reducing the overall cost of learning to drive.

The recommended learner driver insurance covers provisional licence holders and makes it possible to now have car insurance for learner/provisional drivers is supplied by around three or four main organisations in the UK. Details of which can be found in our insurance section of the site here.

Every 17 - 21 year-old and often more mature people at some time would very much like to start driving. If one was to ask a driver which was the exam they remembered the clearest, and which exam during their lifetime made the biggest difference to their lives most people would say their driving exam. Obtaining a driving license is a memorable moment and learning to drive is life skill that is unforgettable. 

Learner insurance costs.

Learner drivers insurance is offered by the organisations for as little as £2.99 per day and in most cases is very flexible from the providers. Some of the organisations provide the insurane for 1, 2 & 3 months periods which work out really well for learner drivers.

It remains our recommendation that the initial process of learning to drive, with the learner driver policy, should be done under supervision of a qualified and registered driving instructor. Basically, there are very real health and safety aspects associated with the process of learning to drive. The qualified driving instructor has had, and has the facilities in his vehicle to deal with any life-threatening situations during the initial phases of learning to drive. Further into the driving course, by integrating private practice with official instruction, it can assist you in getting test ready, thus reducing the overall cost of learning to drive.

To get the maximum advantage from obtaining learner insurance (car insurance for learner drivers) would be that the learner driver discusses with the instructor a course which would involve the initiation of each facet of learning with the instructor and a practice series, in the format of home work and set goals, for the student when he is driving under his learner driver insurance policy.
The format of training that an approved DSA driving instructor, should have obtained, breaks the learning process for the learner driver into a series of modules which need to be mastered before moving on to the next logical module.

The biggest downfall that all drivers experience is the gradual creep of the development of bad habits. Unless a driver constantly analyses and continually monitors his driving procedures the potential likelihood of an accident happening is highly likely due to bad habit creep.

In the ideal world, the accompanying driver (person who will accompany the Learner driver) will have recently done a refresher course, or attends the lessons along with the learner driver. However this is fraught with practical problems. The biggest problem that an older driver, who wishes to accompany the new learner driver, will face is that his knowledge may be outdated and fraught with bad habit creep.

The best option would always be for the learner driver insurance policy holder to combine lessons from a qualified DSA driving instructor with private practice in a private car. It is therefore our recommendation that careful thought be given to the lesson plan and learning process which the new learner driver is exposed to.
