Son & heir has been learner-driving for a year now and his premium - as a named driver on my policy - has mercifully come down quite a way[1]; but of course he wants to take his test[2] which (if he passes) will push it stratospheric again. I found our present insurance through one of the comparison websites but someone suggested there are insurers who specialise in younger, newer drivers, who it would be worth trying. I shall try my google-fu on the problem but if anyone has any pointers they'd be most welcome.
For background it's me, 18yo sprog, and a 1.2 Corsa. I do actually drive the car (well actually SWMBO does these days - something else I need to sort out).
[1] helped by me earning a year's NCD - even though I've got full discount on my van insurance stupid f*ckwit insurance industry seems to think that safely throwing a tonne of Transit around the roads every day does nothing to alleviate my risk behind the wheel of a Corsa :-( [2] again: he failed it earlier this year, to my parental sympathy but profound financial relief!
