My 17 yr old has just passed his driving test. Really happy for him and he is over the moon that he can finally get some independence. I am also happy that at long last he can take himself to the multiple hospital appointments he has [ I will still go with him at times.]
The downfall is he has found a car for £1000. Insurance is coming in for between £1600 -- £4500!! We have both tried various sites for insurance, hours in fact. I am down as his named driver, which brings the cost down slightly. He has a part time job [ he is at college ] , but that is going to bring in anywhere near enough to cover him for next year, and I am not in a place to help him.
We knew insurance was going to be expensive, but this seems way over the top. It is really preventing young people from getting their own cars [ which means they won't get earn their own NCB ] No wonder youngsters aren't driving so much nowadays. You either need a full time job or very rich parents to help you out
