Safe Driving for Life Series
Accompanying a Learner Driver
Introduction
Why this guide?
Getting a full driving licence is an exciting adventure that offers many benefits, including increased social mobility and greater independence. To pass the test and take full advantage of everything that driving can offer, learners need plenty of practice with an officially qualified driver. The majority of people take driving lessons with an approved driving instructor (ADI), but they also spend time practising with parents, guardians or friends. In this official DVSA guide to accompanying a learner driver, we cover the basics of supporting someone who is learning to drive and show how you can help them become a safe driver for life.
Safe Driving for Life Series
Accompanying a Learner Driver
Starting out
Beginning
Getting started
For a new driver, there’s an awful lot to learn. The list includes
a good knowledge of driving theory
learning how to operate a complicated set of controls
operating the controls while putting the theory into practice
developing good judgement
anticipation and awareness.
As well as developing these skills, the new driver needs to learn to cope with
other road users
the weather
road conditions
navigation.
Even after basic control skills have developed, being able to cope with constantly changing demands and unexpected events – often in a fraction of a second – is a skill that comes with experience.
The whole business is complicated, challenging and, for some, extremely difficult. To expect that all this can be learned in a few short lessons is a mistake.
A learner driver needs to gain enough skill and experience to enable them to drive alone safely once they’ve passed their driving test. As more miles are driven and more experience is gained, the novice driver will gradually progress towards becoming a more experienced driver.
However, driving is a subject in which there are always new lessons to be learned and it’s a foolish and dangerous driver who thinks they know it all.
So how does a learner begin the process of going from novice to competent, safe driver?
The answer lies in two key areas
Training – to learn new skills
Practice – to gain experience.
Can you do it legally?
Before you agree to accompany a learner driver, there are a few things you need to check.
Have you held a full EC/EEA driving licence for at least three years for the category of vehicle being driven?
Are you at least 21 years of age?
Is the car you intend to use insured for use by the learner?
Is the car fitted with L plates (D plates in Wales) to both the front and rear of the car?
Is the car you intend to use in a safe, roadworthy condition?
The answer must be YES to all questions before you can act as an accompanying driver to a learner.
The Driver’s Record
The Driver’s Record is a way of helping learners to keep a record of progress while they’re learning to drive. Your learner may have received one with their provisional licence.
The record is a pocket-sized leaflet that contains a list of all the key skills required to pass the test and become a safe driver. It has space for the instructor to record progress through the various levels shown on the record.

Working with your learner
Training
Most people learn to drive with an ADI. Driving instructors are professionals who are trained to teach driving skills in a structured manner to suit differing abilities and learning styles.
Many pupils only have one or two hours of professional driving instruction each week and their experience is often limited to driving at the same time of day and over the same types of road.
