im 21 and held my licence for 4 years?

im pretty sure its 21 and held licence for at least 3 years?

 

id like to know this aswell

 

i always thought as long as you have been driving for three years then u can..i might be wrong

 

nope i think age is a factor aswell

 

21 and 1 years driving for a private teacher - IE, family member or friend

21 and 3 years for professional teacher - IE, BSM and the like

 

Over here as long as you have held your license for a year you can

 

you have to be 21 with 3 years clean driving licence

 

You sure you want to. Teaching family and friends to drive is a sure fire way to fall out

 

Yes you can, but why you'd want to is beyond me!! I had to bully Phil into teaching me

 

why would you WANT to?

 

From the DSA web site.
"If you want to practise your driving with an accompanying driver, the accompanying driver must be over the age of 21 and must have held (and still hold) a full UK licence for three years. "

My opinion, as an ex. ADI (BSM)

As a 21 year old with only 4 years experience and no training in driving instruction you are only likely to pass on bad habits and incorrect driving tecniques.

The best way for any new starter, is to go to an ADI have lessons and also have someone accompany them, to allow them to get experience on the road.

The accompanying driver should NOT teach new manouvres.

 

actually thats a good point about passing on bad habits, although I KNOW what i do and dont do 100% correct when driving so in theory i can teach properly but i dout i will do much teaching anyway as the other guys/gals were probably right about it being a bad idea( i.e killing each other)

 

but there is a huge difference in teaching to pass a test and teaching someone how to drive correctly on a road ....

 

This was more a "this is roughly how to drive" lesson, just to help the person along abit, i would never try to teach someone to pass, i couldnt do that.
