just wondering if it was worth asking how I go about having lessons with a mate?

Yes you do. Some insurers do provisional insurance which allows you to drive your own car while learning.
Obviously, your mate has to be over 21 and have had a full licence in the category of vehicle you are driving for 3 years, and must be in the car at all times whilst you are driving.
They cannot make a profit out of taking you out. So they cant charge you anything. Its illegal unless you are on the ADI register.
Ironically its cheaper to insure the car for a provisional licence because you have an experienced driver to stop you dieing. So it should be safer then you driving on your own straight after the test.
I would have lessons with a proper instructor though, but by all means go out with your mate.

Yes, the car needs to be insured for you to drive it and your mate has to have passed his test, be at least 21 and have held a full licence for at least 3 years. He must not except any money for sitting with you, unless he is a fully qualified driving instructor. If this doesn't prove to be too expensive then it could be a good way to practise between your driving lessons with a school.

Yes, you have to be insured, but if i were you i would save up to have lessons with a registered driving school as a friend will probably teach you bad habits and you probably wont pass your test after lessons with a friend, however good they are.
Good Luck Anyway.

Of course you do...and you need to make sure that he can legally supervise you...I think he has to be at least 21 and have held a full licence for at least two years...plus learner plates etc...presume you are in UK
