What are the rules relating to supervising a learner driver?

In order to supervise a learner driver you must,

  • be at least 21 years old and
  • have held a full EC licence for the appropriate category of vehicle for at least 3 years.

Failure to comply with these requirements could mean a maximum fine of £1,000, discretionary disqualification or 3-6 penalty points (the learner driver could also face the same penalties).

Red L (L or D plates in Wales) must be affixed to the front and rear of the car and must be clearly visible.
