Can a learner use their own car?

Yes for private practice with a qualified family supervisor — but not for paid lessons with us. We need dual controls.

What insurance do I need?

Your fully comprehensive policy must specifically permit paid driving tuition. Most don't by default — check with your insurer.

Will you teach me motorway driving in my own car?

Yes — Pass Plus motorway modules in Motherwell run on the M-road network and are commonly done in the pupil's own car.
