He has his own car - but it's an automatic and he's looking ahead to when he comes to buy a new one (he's discovered the "automatic tax" on both cars and insurance).

I understand the point about it being cheaper to insure a learner driver... and that insurance usually goes up when passed...  but in this case it's a little different as he's nearer 30 than 20 and already been driving for a good few years - and more specifically a few years back it cost almost nothing to add him as a leaner to my insurance).
Anyway we'll wait and see what the algorithm throws out at the point of passing before i work out whether it's best to leave him on the policy or not.  I won't be paying either way.

and as for using an instructor (and car)... i realise that probably has the highest chance of first passing, but it'll be up to him.

We have 2 automatic cars in our household that have both replaced manual cars in the past 18 months or so..our insurance hasn’t gone up and the cost to purchase wasn’t much of any different to the equivalent manual…both second hand newest being 3 years old
