Learner Driver Law....
6 Answers
If I was on a driving lesson with a qualified driving instructor and I broke the speed limit, who would recieve the penalty fine and points on their license? Myself or the instructor ( who is technically in charge of my driving and has a brake pedal in a dual control car, and could therefore slow me down!) Just wondering :)

PS. My car doesn't have a 'break' pedal ( in the middle or anywhere else ) It has a brake pedal :P
That answer is wrong. The driving instructor is responsible, as he is resposible for the car - you have no insurance of your own and whats the point in putting penalty points on a provisional licence? You may never get a full one so the points will mean nothing. Similarly if the instructor is drunk while you are driving he can be done for drink driving, even though he is not driving. He is always responsible for the car.
