In the UK do you need insurance if are driving with L plates and a provisional licence?

In the UK, it is a legal requirement to have insurance when driving any motor vehicle, including when driving with L plates and a provisional licence. This is because even as a learner driver, you are still responsible for any damage or injury caused by your driving, and insurance provides financial protection in case of an accident.

When applying for insurance as a learner driver, you will be asked to provide information about your licence type and driving experience. Some insurance companies may offer learner driver insurance policies specifically designed for those with provisional licences, which may include additional features such as coverage for damage to the car you are driving or for any passengers.

It is important to compare quotes from different insurance companies and choose the policy that best meets your needs and budget. Ensure you understand the terms and conditions of the policy, including any limits or exclusions, before purchasing it.

Remember that driving without insurance is a serious offence in the UK and could result in a fine, penalty points on your licence, or even disqualification from driving.
