Learner driver question.
Discussion
A friend of mine is willing to exchange a few beer tokens in return for giving her a couple of driving lessons.
Just a quick one on the insurance front - she's insured to drive her brother's car as a learner, but if we were to use that car, do I have to be insured on it too? I don't have DOC cover on my policy, so does the learner require someone who has the ability to drive the car to accompany them? I'm over 21 and have held my licence for over three years so that's not a concern.
She's confident enough to be driving around on the roads, she just wants a bit of help perfecting her maneouvers.

One hopes the beer tokens will exchange after each lesson, and not before Just a quick one on the insurance front - she's insured to drive her brother's car as a learner, but if we were to use that car, do I have to be insured on it too?

AFAIK, you don't need to be insured (the person 'responsible' for the vehicle being the driver even if they are only a PLH).
However - if a problem arises which requiring the learner to cease driving then you'll have to abandon the car in situ.

As a supervising driver you do not have to be insured or be legally required to drive but is that a good idea if a situation was to occur that needed you to drive?Just a quick one on the insurance front - she's insured to drive her brother's car as a learner, but if we were to use that car, do I have to be insured on it too?
