Assuming you are in the UK:

If you're learning to drive in a driving school car, their insurance covers you.

If you're learning to drive in your parents' or friend's car, they will need to add you to their insurance.  (expensive)

If you're learning to drive in your own car, you will need to get your own insurance.  (mega-expensive)

Yes, on the car that you are driving in, unless it is a driving instructors car.

The driver of the car must be insured to drive that particular car.  Who pays for the insurance does not matter, it could be you or the driving school.

YES.

No one wants to have to pay for damages to their car that a learner driver caused because they didn't have insurance. DUH DUH DUH.

Quite simply - YES!

Answer 17

If your taking driving lessons then the person taking you should be insured for you.

Answer 18

You need to be insured in any car you dirve.  So, if you are learning, the car owner is supposed to have insurance that covers you.  It's the car that's insured.  How the policy is written says what is covered.  You should be on the policy as soon as they let you.  The premiums will skyrocket.
