    My daughter is learning to drive in my car. Can other fully qualified drivers with comprehensive insurance supervise her practice in my car or only me?

    Can those people drive you car on your/their insurance?
    If they can and have a valid licence etc then yes.

    I assume if they have fully comprehensive insurance they are insured to drive any car so I think so but maybe I should check with my insurer first.

    "Driving other cars" can be included in comprehensive but don't count on it.
    Ask them to double check their documentation.

    When we were insured with Aviva and our kids were learning to drive Aviva made it very clear that the only people insured to drive with them were my husband and me. There was a statement on the insurance certificate to that effect. They were insured under the Aviva young drivers scheme so that may have been the reason. However, to avoid all doubt call your insurer and check.

    Also, if someone else was to supervise them, they need to of held the license themselves for a minimum of 2 years before they can accompany a learner.

    That definitely rules out one of the people I had in mind. I suspect its just going to have to be me. I'm rapidly discovering I'm not cut out to be a teacher.

    Why would they need insurance to drive the OPs car? They're only there in a supervisor / accompanying / passenger (however you want to word it) capacity?

    Agree with this, the learner drive has their own insurance cover to drive the car, the only condition of this insurance, is that she is accompanied by a fully licensed driver?

    I was told the same by Aviva, Only myself or my wife could accompany them. No reason though why you couldn't be in the back seat & let someone else in the front to teach I'd say but again, check with your insurer.
