J.E.M. Driver Training

I have been looking into if a driving instructor giving paid monies tuition to a pupil in the pupils/parents car  is insured. To my surprise the insurance cover may be rendered invalid as the instructor is running his business through the pupils car. Below is a list of 8 insurers that I contacted ONLY 3 of the 8 will allow paid tuition in the pupils/parents car.

Direct Line NO

National Farmers Union NO

Admiral NO

Lloyds TSB NO

More Than NO

AXA YES

AVIVA YES

Liverpool Victoria (LV) YES

This list is in now way to be taken accurate it is each instructors responsibility to contact each insurance company as required when teaching pupils. J.E.M. Driver Training Limited accepts no responsibly for inaccuracy or changes the above companies make. This to display inconsistency in insurance company policies.

If you are an instructor doing this ensure you check with the pupils insurance company and ensure you tell them you are receiving money for time. If you were to be caught by the Police for such an offence you could lose your ADI badge as no insurance is 6 points on your licence and this could lead to the registrar expelling you form the ADI(car) register.

Dear Edward 

I would just like to pass on my thanks for your winter driving tips session that you hosted in our school.  The material was presented in a very effective way, with an excellent mix of questions, information and videos.  You allowed us to ask questions, no matter how silly and provide no nonsense answers avoiding ‘techno babble’.  The handouts showed the main points and will serve as reference in years to come. 

I certainly took your advice and have equipped my car better to tackle the best of the Yorkshire weather. 

With best wishes to you and your family at this time of year.
