I've noticed over the few years that if you have a named driver on your policy, twice the chamce of a crash, then it lowers your policy, also the less miles you say the car does the the cost of the insurance goes up.

did my test in my own car at 21 i use a Peugeot 205 1.4xs and has to be the cheapest car i have ever insured fully comp 550 a year with quin with 250 excess granted i also had a ban. now i drive a classic TVR and i am 24 and the insurance is 300 a year for 10,00 miles on a 3.9 v8. my tip go for retro cars no tax if its before 72 and there a lot more fun to drive when you have no safety features or power steering what so ever

A free to use road safety scheme. The scheme is being promoted across the UK.

It's FREE, it works and could save lives. What other reason do you need?
If you drive the scheme is not something you can opt out of. Search regerme, check your registration. You may have a comment.

Car insurance for young people is quite outrageous thanks to the minority of bad drivers out there. Check out this article on car settlements here: http://cartruckaccident.net/car-accident-settlement/

All of those quotes seem way too high. I ensured a pugeot 306 forr under 700 quid when i was that age in 2003. Glad that we are no longer penalised for being men, but it should have ffected both genders quotes with a fall in mens prices and an increase in womens prices rather than just a rise in female's quotes. Being an insurer is like having a lience to print money. I recently got hit by a landrover pulling out of a side road onto my right while riding my motorcycle. It feels like I being forced into a 50/50 offer because its 'less expensive for the insurer' when the other party was in the wrong.

I can vouch for the classic Mini being a great deal for new drivers, I bought one for £1000 and insured it for £832 at 18. They're really brilliant fun to drive too, light weight, good on fuel and easy to work on with a few spanners.

Anyone knows that the cheapest cars to insure are small hatchbacks with small engines. You neglected to mention the fact that if you get a hatchback with the back windows blocked out its classified as a van and you a can commercial insurance which is far cheaper. All this article does is state the obvious without giving any smart tips.

I've never had a crash, never made a claim, yea I've had my foot down many times but if you tell me you've never done over 80 on the A1 I will call you a liar lol as an additive I passed both my theory and practical first time with 1 minor fault (apparently being stuck behind an RAC Breakdown van in Durham city center during rush hour is a bad thing.... it might of broke down and I might not have been able to move..... in a traffic jam)

Anyway, I'm 22 year old, gained my license when I was 17 and I own a 1995 Toyota Celica GT-Four, fair enough its an insurance group 15 Japanese import with modifications but why should my premium be £1,400 fully comp with only 20,000 miles???

The main chip on my shoulder is occupation, I'm a herpetologist, is a doctor a better driver than me? is an elderly, retired man who lives in Glasgow a more efficient and capable driver than a 25 year old fork lift driver from Leeds with sharper reactions, better judgement and a much more keener eye sight?

Why should my insurance be effected by others? If that is the case, here's a message to all UK metropolitan police officers, if a 22 year old stabs somebody in London.... blame me.... here in Durham, because it has absolutely nothing to do with me.... but blame me anyway....

I'm deeply sorry for my language The DSA, DVLA and European Insurance Federation need to **** off and find a doctor to remove their heads from each others arses.

If I get stupid quotes, god help 17-18 and even 18 year olds.
