Oh ok, I'm sure the years driving experience lowered the quote. Nevertheless Which company?

Do you know if certain insurance companies who do not allow 17 yr olds to be a main driver would allow a 17 yr old driver to be a named driver?

however the parent would then have to be the main driver

What are you typing in to get that quote? It came up with 5 grand when I tried.....

If that's genuine I think you may ave just brought this forum to a close! That's a brilliant offer! Which insurance company?

Cheers frogsisland, I'll look into admiral

surely on third party the likelihood of theft argument goes out of the window? I think it's more to do with insurance companies hiding behind these excuses and statistics as a way of charging young peoples parents thousands of pounds so that they can legally drive around just because they can

Yeah starting to think I'm fighting a losing battle

Or occasionally into a small child who has just run into the road as they don't have the reactions to brake in time.

Personally what worries me more is those driving out there in their late 80's with deteriorating vision, hearing and reflexes. I bet they don't have to fork out 3 grand for insurance

Witty...

fair point well made, Suppose I should be looking at the larger picture, especially when this larger picture includes the years in which I will be paying the bills and not dad

Fortunately to my knowledge the authorities have not yet installed CCTV cameras into each car in the country so how would the insurance company know who's been doing most of the driving?

But surely if I was a named driver and just happened to drive it more than the policy holder I'd be doing nothing wrong?

They must have been hoping it didn't catch on, I don't know about you but if I was marking hundreds of english essays, I'd be pretty ****ed off if they were all written in green
