| you'll get a load of americans posting in here now with stuff like "Im 15 years old and I own a '58 corvette and it only costs me $20 a year to insure, you clearly chose the wrong insurance company" they just don't realise there's a world outside the US sometimes  UK insurance prices suck for young drivers, combine that with petrol and road tax here it's amazing anyone under the age of 20 can afford to drive at all, but give it a few years and it'll come down, btw my friends insurance cost him £1400 for the first year, so you got off lucky have you done pass pluss? that can be equal to 1 years discount and would certainly help with the cost what car do you have and how old are you? |

Blog Entries: 2 | Insurance is based on engine size and age, so if you are young, you want to be having a small an engine as possible, which I know goes against the grain, and hopefully you wont get a car like mine that seems to need a costly repair about every two months. |

  | Wow that's a lot of cash... I don't remember ever paying anything close to that on my insurance. But then again I'm sure UK youths are more responisble because of it. |
