Am I insured to take my driving test?

Yes. You will need to take your insurance policy documents with you and ensure the car meets certain requirements set by the government. We suggest you read the full requirements in our advice on taking the driving test in your own car, but we've summarised the main points here:

  • The car must be taxed
  • The car must be roadworthy (with a current MOT for cars over 3 years old)
  • There must not be any warning lights showing
  • There must not be any tyre damage or space-saver tyre fitted
  • You must fit L plates to the front and rear of the car and an extra interior rear-view mirror for the examiner

The cover ceases immediately after the test has been passed, so make sure you organise a lift home.
