Wife wants to learn to drive in my car :shocked:

[sharki786]

Need to know if she needs to be insured to drive the car as a lerner. My car is fully insured and i have had my license for over 5yrs now. I have had a look on dvlas website but it dont say nothing about insurance.
Any links would he greatful.

Don't do it!

yes, you need to inform your insurance company.

BUT

before doing any of that,

get her to have a good few lessons with an instructor first

I totally agree, recipe for marital disharmony and despite what we all think..most of us passed our test a while ago and things have moved on a bit with the test since then.

I just think its better to start with doing things the right way rather than learning bad habits from the off.

not a case of that barry, its the first few lessons are key, so leave it to the professionals. did it with the wife, and the 3 eldest kids.

when i could see them safely departing and returning to the house THEN I was willing to take them out

^^^^this

Slightly different but I had a few lessons before being insured on my parents car    that way I was confident to go out with them and they were confident I wasn't going to stuff it into a hedge

this. no matter how good your driving maybe the first lessons are better done by proper instructors, once she can handle the car then take her out, much fewer heart attacks, and arguements and less stress on her
