provisional license

suburbansteve

Hi all this is my first post on this site so excuse any mess ups, my question is can your spouse drive your motobility car with only a provisional license obeying all the laws of course ie: L plates and the registered owner/driver being present..

Thanks.

Ask motability, they will give the definitive answer and they are the ones providing the insurance.

- no, not the way you have phrased it my friend
- your wife needs to be (1) an acceptable risk to the insurance company over 21 years of age
- and must be accompanied by (2) a driver over 21 who has held their UK licence for at least three years

Its always best to as Savvy_Sue says and check with Motabilty. Best of luck.

Yes you can. My dad made some checks with Motability regarding this recently, as I have just started driving lessons in an automatic (after a 20 year break) and I plan on driving my dad around to gain some road experience and to take the pressure off him as due to his failing health he struggles to get in and out of the driving seat of his car. Getting me added to his insurance was not a problem.
