Senior students who drive with passengers whilst on restricted licences.
It has been brought to our attention that there are several of our senior students breaking the law by driving passengers whilst on a restricted licence.
Despite the fact that this is against the law, it should be noted that driving with passengers whilst on a restricted licence invalidates your insurance policy, if they have an accident. Please click on the link below which is a warning from the Insurance Ombudsman which states, ‘Young drivers who crash while driving in breach of their licence will find their insurance claims turned down.’
