I have recently upgraded to a new car but I still have the previous one that I had which has now been SORN, untaxed, uninsured and in my garage. My partner has started to take driving lessons and I have told her that once she passes her test then she can have my old car which she can use for herself and maintain, once it has been re-insured, taxed and had an MOT.

I am still the registered keeper of the old car that I want my partner to have and she will be the main driver, although I will also put my name on it as I may still use it from time to time and it should hopefully lower the premium for her as I have more driving experience.

Although I will be letting my partner have the car, I don't really want to 'give' it to her, my worry is, if I am still the registered keeper but not the main driver, will that mean that, if in the event that my partner has some kind of incident such as a speeding or parking fine, does that mean that I will incur the charges and consequences seeing as I am still the registered keeper?

If so, then is there any way around that or do I need to register the car with my partner as the registered keeper and driver?
