Provisional Driver Insurance - Best Accompanying Driver Options

When it comes to Provisional Driver Insurance, picking who should be your accompanying driver is very important. You want a person who will not distract your driving but will ideally give you sound advice and driving tips.

Tips on Choosing Your Accompanying Driver

Below we have listed Four potential accompanying drivers, along with their pros and cons. InsureLearnerDriver’s temporary and annual learner driver insurance policies cover all these options. Additionally, if you wanted to test the waters with different accompanying drivers, don’t worry; multiple people can act as the accompanying driver under the same policy!

The Parent is a go to option, as they normally have years of experience and are often eager to help. However, they are chronic worriers, which can make them harsh critics. This could lead to some pretty heated arguments in the car.

The Sibling can be a low maintenance accompanying driver and much less critical. However, they aren’t always willing to help and may even need bribing.

The Friend provides a more relaxed environment for the learner. The learner may also be able to take criticism better from friends than family. However, they can be the most distracting.

The Grandparent is the kindest of all. They generally look forward to spending time with you, so should be more than happy to be your accompanying driver. However, their reactions aren’t the best and may miss things just as easily as a learner would.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as the perfect accompanying driver. Provisional driver insurance gives you the chance to try out and test multiple accompanying drivers. So, it’s just a matter of trial and error until you find the best one for you.
