    Hi in short you will need to get your own separate insurance on the new car. If you want you can then be removed as a named driver on the original car ( may save the other person some money). If you are a full licence holder you should still be able to drive the original car but would only be third party cover, if you are a learner however this option will not apply.

    Not necessarily true, especially for younger drivers. Best ring your insurance company if you're not sure after reading your policy docs.
