Senior students who drive with passengers whilst on restricted licences.

KingsWay School —

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.’
