18 years old insured on a 12 seat 110 CSW.

Just got a quote from insurance co. for daughter to learn to drive the 12
seat 110. I thought you had to be 21 to drive 12 seats; however it seems
that age for learning on 12 seat is 18 if no passengers are carried (apart
from qualified driver). To insure for year on my cover with same benefits
( fully comp, 100 excess etc ) £300 extra for year. Wife drives Fester 1200
and the addition for that is £900 for daughter to be added. Daughter just
passed so is simply a learner for the 12 seater, can only qualify at 21 for
this. However when I told wifes ins they would not alter the rate we pay as
she is an inexperienced driver still.
What a rip off.

Ten minutes of this rain will do more good in half an hour than a fortnight
of ordinary rain in a month.

Watch it, you have to have D1 classification on your licence to drive a 12
seater land rover as it is classed as a minibus.

Those who passed their test since 1998 do not have this on their licence
automatically like those who passed test before. (cannot remember exact
date, but it came in when the restrictions on trailers was introduced).
