I've got a 3 month ban for speeding and wondered whether i will still be able to sit next to my learner driver daughter .

Thanks for clearing that up for me . Why did a few of you assume that i wasn't a fit person to supervise a learner just because i was banned ? i've drive for 20 years on a clean licence and one moment of madness on a high powered motorcycle lost me my licence .
Also , she is getting lessons , but needs to supplement that with extra time on the road which is where i was hoping ot come in ! .

No, you have to have a current licence, be over 21 and have had 3 years driving experience. I think it's 3 years anyway!

No if you are banned you can't because that would mean there is no one in the car that is licenced to drive as a learner can only drive under the supervision of a licence holding driver

Sorry, but I believe the answer is no. Your licence has to be current and valid.
You got some serious stick about the ban !
Any of the "holier than thou's" who played DoT lawyer on this one - if you haven't been guilty of speeding once this week, just once, well done, but you're a liar.
If you'd have been caught on one occassion per week last month, you too would be banned on the totting up procedure. Don't be too quick to judge.

Nope - the whole point of being supervised is so that someone else can take over should things become a little bit hairy - if the other drive is banned then they arent allowed to even put keys in an ignition let alone drive it

NO because if you have a ban it means that you do not have a licence to drive therefore you cannot supervise your daughter until you get your licence back.

No Not in the U.K You cant You lost that privilege when you got banned. No wonder the driving standard in the UK is so low with people like you learning people to drive. BUY YOUR DAUGHTER DRIVING LESSONS YOU SKIN FLINT. If you get caught SHE will get 6-8 penalty points on her licence (No insurance) that will transfer on to her licence AFTER she has passed her driving test. Ignorance WILL not save you so don't even try the " I did not know nonsense" If you get stopped.

NO!
simply because there would not be a fully qualified driver in the car with her.
and you would be the one that would be penalised more than likely, altho she could run into problems too.
only way you can to an extent is on Private land with the land owners permission, you won't get the traffic experience but she can still get to grips with the basics of driving (gear changes, holding speeds, basic manuvers etc) but you'd obviously need someone to get you there.

Maybe if you got caught speeding you aren't the best person to be teaching your daughter to drive!
Get a driving instructor - they won't pass on any bad habits that a 'normal' person would.

I dont think so, incase you get pulled and need to show your licence, but hell id do it anyway considering I got caught on a ban twice LOLOLOLOL. I dont know anyone who has got stopped for sitting next to someone and asked to show their licence, as long as you have all the appropriate L plates on. SOD THE LAW THATS WHAT I SAY!
