Utterly illegal, a learner driver in the UK has to be accompanied by someone aged over 21 with a full driving licence which they've held for at least three years if they are driving a car. Whether or not they own the car themselves is irrelevant.
Such a driver would be guilty of 'Driving other than in accordance with a licence' (max penalty: £1000 fine, 6 penalty points and possible driving disqualification) and as their insurance would be invalidated by driving illegally also 'Driving without insurance' (max penalty £5000 fine, 8 penalty points and possible driving disqualification). It's all in the Highway Code.

It really does not matter. You are NOT allowed to drive unaccompanied. If you were, why would we bother having a driving test for learner drivers???? You would be breaking the law and would risk getting points on that license you do not yet have or even worse, possibly a ban. Your insurance would be void. You would be a menace to law abiding motorists - especially if you are involved in an accident.................
Highly unlikely you would get a FIXED PENALTY fine ........

It is usually a condition of insurance that learner drivers are accompanied on the road. If they are not then they are uninsured and hence it is illegal to drive. Incidentally it is also an offence under section 87 Road Traffic Act 1988, I have no experience and could not possibly hazzard a guess at a possible sentence

You ignored better than you imagine. A learner motive force does no longer be allowed to proceed utilizing unaccompanied, until eventually he wasn't somewhat a learner motive force. in spite of if the motor vehicle had stopped in a risky position he does no longer be allowed to flow it himself. The police would take his keys and flow it themselves. An unaccompanied learner motive force who's stopped by utilizing police is strolling homestead, if he's fortunate. possibly he'd surpassed his try yet hadn't taken the L plates off.

You need to pass your test before you can drive on the road by yourself.
I'd say you're looking at a fine and points.

Think its points on license, a fine and maybe a short ban.
