    Sure, a full licence just means you can go twice as fast. !!!!!!!?

    On their own without accompanied by full driving licence holder.

    I'm sorry, but I've got to ask, what exactly did you think was the purpose of the Driving Test?

    If you know howto drive then pass your test. Sorted.

    And when your stopped and find out your a learner and not insured without a qualified driver they will tow the car away.

    Try getting your car back when the insurers have cancelled the policy.

    Driving otherwise than in accordance doesn't automatically mean no insurance. It should but it don't.

    When the police phone and query the insurance you would hope they cancel it there and then.

    Uninsured vehicle on the road = tow it away :)

    You speak from personal experience do you?

    The only way you can drive a vehicle on the road without passing your test & without a passenger who is in possession of a full D/L is if the vehicle is not designed to carry passengers. I.E a tractor or quad bike (or one of those road legal F1 style sports cars).
    And no, you can't simply take your car and remove all the passenger seats. The vehicle has to be designed from the outset to have no capacity to carry passengers.

    Mind you, if the plod come up behind you, you could always make for the nearest traveller site and then put on an Irish accent.

    It worries me that people like this are on the road.

    Of course you need a full license to drive unaccompanied, otherwise what's the point in doing your test?
