Q: Do I have to pay for damage done to my driving instructor’s car?
I’m a student driver.Been only 2 days I’ve been driving. On my second day, I hit a pole on the side of the road and the right side mirror broke.Do I have to pay for it?
A: It could depend on the terms and conditions of your enrollment, the coverage of the policy, and the manner in which your driving was supervised, based on your skill level. A vehicle used for driving instruction should be accordingly insured, but that could be a case-by-case matter depending on the school. Some schools might pick up the damages; some might seek reimbursement. Review the terms of your contract with the school. Good luck
