No, a legal drivers license has to supervise a learner license.

No. As a banned driver you are unable to get insurance to drive. It is illegal to drive without road tax, a current MoT and insurance. Although it is the learner who is driving, they must do so in the presence of a driver who has proved themselves, via a test, to be competent at driving. This is because in the event of an accident the teacher driver can in some circumstances be said to have been as much at fault as the actual learner driver. Hence the need for the teacher driver to have full car insurance. Unfortunately you are currently banned, therfore someone has seen faults within your driving that justify having your licence removed. This therefore makes you inapproriate to teach anyone the correct way to drive a motor vehicle.

No. The law requires that supervision is only given by *qualified* drivers over 21 years of age that hold a full current license (ie no bans, etc).
If you supervise someone while disqualified it is not only illegal in itself, but also your tax, mot and insurance are all considered void. The idea being that only those who are legally entitled to drive themselves are permitted to instruct or supervise learners.

no as a disqualified driver it is deemed in law that you do NOT hold a licence,and therefore not only would you as the banned driver be in trouble again but the poor bloody learner would have points before the ink was dry on thiers..and dont forget if you are instructing you have to be over 21

Anyone who said no is wrong, i know from experience that a disqualified driver can instruct a learner but can not drive the vehicle themselves

Not No, but Hell No!
An automobile must have a licensed driver to be on the road. Neither one of you are LICENSED!
A learner permit is not a license.
Go out in the country on private property.

No. You are disqualified which basically means you dont have a licence. You could both get done if you are caught.
I worked in motor claims for 15 years, and have seen this happen, so dont risk it. Your licence will be gone for longer and your mate could lose theirs before they get it!
Also, if you have an accident, you wont be covered as neither of you have a full licence to drive, so your claim for vehicle damage will be thrown out.

No, because they have been disqualified for a reason. This means that they are 'unable' to teach or supervise a learner.

No , because when you are disqualified you have your licence taken off you. Plus if the police pulled you over they would want to see both the learners licence and yours to check you have one and have held it for the appropriate time to learn people to drive.

The simple answer is, you do not have a driving license, therefore you cannot accompany a learner driver.
