Can an ex disqualified driver accompany a provisional holder?

[Buchanan0204]

Basically. A friend of mine was disqualified for a year. This was december 2008 until 2009. He then re sat the test and passed on Jan 09.

His partner is now insured on his car and holds a provisional. I am claiming because of the ban he can't be the one responsible for her?

Am I correct in thinking that she will need to sit next to someone else? Will this matter if the car is registered in his name? Does the owner need to be there type of thing?

Cheers!

So he lost his license and re-sat the test and passed? Why would he not be able to sit next to her? He has his license back and she is insured on his vehicle.

Edit - Just seen the post above.

Well, I just assumed since he was disqualified recently... it would have course cause issues.

Looks like they will need to wait another year then.

To me it sounds like you must have held it for 3 years and still hold it when you're supervising...i.e. not be banned when you're supervising. Maybe that's just me

He isn't banned as I've mentioned. He got his license reinstated two years ago and still holds it to this day. If he had to supervise at the moment he wouldn't be a banned driver.

As he lost his full license and had to retake his test when he got disqualified, then that means he has not held a full license for 3 years..



If he was only disqualified that may of been OK...

He got a one year ban... re sat the practical and theory tests. Passed the extended driving test and has been driving legally for two years now. Previously had been driving for over 30 years without any penalties or infractions of any kind.
