Provisional insurance

[JG93]

Can a fully comp driver drive a car which only has provisional insurance? legally?

Nobody on here know what your policy says.

What has being fully comp got to do with anything?

What's provisional insurance?

Some insurance policies allow you to drive other cars, some don't. Of the ones that do, some require the other car to be covered by a separate policy of it's own, some don't. You need to read your own policy documents to know what yours allows.

This is what i was wondering
do i have provisional insurance when i have a quote which is valid for 30 days?

I think I know what the OP means, but I can't be arsed guessing so let's see if he can untangle his own mess and explain it properly.

[Pcot]

I would imagine he means insurance for a provisional licence holder!

Sorry, I'll try make it a bit clearer I would like to borrow my brothers car he's a learner drive and he's covered under provisional insurance and I was just wonder if my insurance would cover that

[Pcot]

It depends totally on what YOUR insurance policy covers YOU to drive.
Are you covered to drive other vehicles?

[Mound Dawg]

I'd ask your own insurers. It's got b'all to do with his.

Just checked it, not covered boo! thanks lads

If 93 is your year of birth I'm not too surprised - most insurers nowadays seem to restrict driving other cars cover to the over 25s.

If/when you do get a policy which includes it remember that it will only give you third party cover to drive another car - so if you use it to borrow your brother's car and have an accident which is your fault (or rather, one which you can't prove is someone else's fault) you'll be paying for the repairs yourself, or having a rather awkward conversation with your brother.
