How to keep your licence

Did you know that drivers who have their licence for more than two years lose their licence if they receive 12 penalty points or more? As a new driver, your licence is probationary for 24 months.

During the 24 month probationary period your penalty points allowance is lowered. How many points does it take for a new driver to lose their licence and have to re-sit their driving tests?

Well done, your answer is correct!

You lose your licence once you receive 6 points. If you lose your licence you will have to re-sit your tests.

Sorry your answer is incorrect

You lose your licence once you receive 6 points. If you lose your licence you will have to re-sit your tests.

Choosing an Instructor

9 out of 10 learners who pass their practical test on their first attempt are taught by a DVSA-licenced ADI (Approved Driving Instructor).

There are two levels of driving instructor. One is fully qualified to teach you and the other is in training. What colour of badge do fully qualified ADIs display?

Well done your answer is correct!

The PINK triangle badge shown on an instructor's car means that they are still in training. The GREEN badge means they are a fully qualified ADI.

When learning to drive think about who you would like to instruct you.

Driving under the influence

Just because a drug is legal doesn't mean it isn't dangerous. If it has the power to give you a buzz then it will almost certainly affect your ability to drive.

Which offence carries a higher penalty?

Well done your answer is correct!

Drug driving carries the same penalties as drink driving, which includes up to 6 months in prison, a £5,000 fine and loss of licence for at least 12 months. If somebody is killed as a result of drug driving you could face up to 14 years in prison.

Your first 6 months of driving

It's an exciting time when you first pass your test and get your licence. It feels like the world has opened up and you have so much more freedom. Experience on the roads will help make you a good driver, however it is easy to forget those good driving habits if you don't consistently practice them!

How many new drivers are involved in a crash during the first 6 months of getting their licence?

Well done your answer is correct!

1 in 5 new drivers will be involved in a crash during their first 6 months on the roads. Practice makes perfect and maintaining those good habits you learned is the best way to become a good driver.

Getting Insured

For newly qualified young drivers, insurance premiums can be sky high. There are ways of reducing those costs.

Which practice below is NOT recommended when trying to reduce your insurance premium?

Well done your answer is correct!

The official name is "Fronting" and it is classed as fraud. If you have a collision while your parent is named as the main driver, your insurer will establish who really uses the car most and may refuse to pay out any claims. In the long term, going under your own insurance will be more cost effective as you will build up your no claims bonus. Lower engine size will help reduce your initial premium and depending how good a driver you are installing telematics into your car could help gradually reduce your insurance
