About the box fitted to the car, my instructor was telling me it can be

That's why a said "look at", ie. read the small print.

Strikes me as a bit harsh to be fined for using the car between
midnight and 0500, an adjustment to the premium, if regular, I could
understand but not for a single "out of pattern" use in that period.


I have been told that limitation applies to some young driver polices. I
can only suppose that a young lad out at night at weekends with his
mates in the motah is a larger risk that most all other times...

However with that limitation it did make quite some difference to the
premium charged which in practice is prolly the largest cost for the
younger driver these days..
