If you're under 25, I would start by looking for insurance you can
afford. That might be as far as you get.


WHS. Putting two and two togther (gremlin_95& apprenticeship) we
might be looking at a 17 year old. Half saw on the telly the other
night possibly Superscrimpers that if a youngster adds an older
person as a named driver to their insurance the premium drops.


That requires that the named driver is a regular user of the car. If
not, it is misrepresentation of material details, which will invalidate
the insurance.

really? so what of people who name their spouses on each others
policies for emergency/holiday/car servicing use but hardly ever drive
them? their insurances are invalid?? nah shurely not...


To clarify: I am relaying a recent discussion on the radio in which an
insurance spokesman was talking specifically about the case where an
older named driver is included on the insurance of a young person solely
for the purposes of reducing the premium.
