AIBU to think we don't need to tell the insurer about daughter learning to drive?

[flawless234]

Hi All,
My daughter has just started learning to drive and we're now doing some practice sessions in our car. She's got her provisional licence and everything, and I'm sitting with her, but we haven't told our car insurance company. I'm thinking, she's not the main driver, it's just a bit of practice with me supervising, so surely we don't need to add her as a named driver?
I've heard some people say you need special learner insurance or to add them to your policy, but it feels a bit OTT for just a few supervised drives. I'm a bit worried about the premium shooting up, to be honest!
Am I being unreasonable to think we can just carry on as we are, or do we really need to contact our insurer? Does anyone have any experience with this? Any advice on what to do would be amazing, as I'm totally clueless about all this.
Thanks in advance!

Honestly if this is serious then you need to hand your license back if you can’t see that your learner driver child needs insurance

Wow 99% against 👏

Come on, who was the 1% ?! 🤯

Can an OP vote on their own thread ? Just asking for a friend 🤔😏

I'm guessing the op isn't coming back. Would love to hear if this was a wind up or if not, what the logic actually was.

Of course you need to add her.. you think she's not capable of having an accident because its only a few leaner lessons... get a grip please

A separate Collingwood policy is really good as has no affect on your insurance.
