My grandma has offered to buy me a car when i pass my driving test, but spoke to me the other day and said she would consider buying me the car now so i can practise in it and hopefully pass my test a bit quicker. I know i can only drive the car if i have someone over the age of 21 with a valid driving licence in the car with me but how would I insure the car? Can you get an insurance policy out as a provisional driver or would i have to get someone else with a full licence (i.e. one of my parents) to insure themselves in the car and put me down as a named driver? How would it work and is it worth getting the car now when i have to tax it and insure it but cant drive it, or should i just wait til i've passed my test? Cheers x

Yes, you'll have no problem insuring it as a provisional licence holder, it's not much dearer than insuring a new full licence holder. It'll work out cheaper to insure it & use it for practice rather than pay for dozens of lessons - you can pass easily within a couple of months with one lesson a week & plenty of driving time in between.
