Interesting read.
But I am 17 right now, insured in my mothers name as a named driver.
The reason I did this was because I will lose all my no claims when I go to uni (as I will be there for 4 years with no car).
Is this not the case? Have I been misinformed?

Im in the same boat, except im the only one who drives my car, as he has a company car, which pays for fuel insurance tax the lot.
I pay for the insurance and its in my dads name.
Quote of £886 per year, the car is also in his name.
Is this illegal??
Cheers, Sam
If your not down as the main user - you could just lie surely? They don't know if you are or not. Dont admit it and you cant get done for it. They can interview your neighbours or something but thats very unlikely - and if they do deny it as it isnt hard evidence

Insurance is a tight margin business these days they will check up they need to try cut down the claims.
If they do a bit of digging find out your are the main driver then they'll cancel insurance and you'll have to take them to court. Do you fancy your chances there?
but they are not allowed to insure you for more than the value of the car,
i was going mental at her because i only found out the week before i had a £300 compulsarry excess ontop of the £250 voluntary excess because of my age. so the claim went in.
insurance is a joke. I don't agree with people driving with no insurance but I understand what they mean when they say it works out cheaper for them to get caught with no insurance than paying a ridiculous premium paying for other peoples mistakes.
I went on my dads insurance for my first year of driving. We both used the car so it was fair enough. But the main reason was cos my initial quote for a 1.2 clio RN in my own name was 1800 quid. It's ridiculous.

but those people using the excuse of not paying a ridiculous premium for other peoples mistakes are the mistakes! people having accidents with no insurance are pushing up the bill. the money has to come from somewhere.

Yeah I know that, but for the individual not paying for insurance it works out better. If it was up to me I wouldn't pay insurance, and if anything happened to my car and I was at fault, then I would pay the damages. I've gone 2 years without having to claim, but still managed to spend 2300 quid on insurance due to ridiculous premiums. I could have saved that cash up and if anything goes wrong I've got the money to cover it.
i have a big problem, i brought my car when i was 16 and with the job i had i was buying mods ect for when i passed my test so it would look good etc. about to take my test, i have 17inch wheels body kit, exhaust sound system tinted windows, tinted lights lowered suspension, bucket seats. 1.2 2006 mk3... insurance in my dads name him the main driver me a casual driver 1400.. me on my own policy cheapest i found was just over 3.8k! this cant be right?
That sounds a lot like my quotes, only mine is a completely unmodified car, 18, tho only driving for about half a year. If i could get what some of the people saying "im glad i got it myself" here got, then i happilly would, but 3grand on an unmodified car, ridiculous.i have a big problem, i brought my car when i was 16 and with the job i had i was buying mods ect for when i passed my test so it would look good etc. about to take my test, i have 17inch wheels body kit, exhaust sound system tinted windows, tinted lights lowered suspension, bucket seats. 1.2 2006 mk3... insurance in my dads name him the main driver me a casual driver 1400.. me on my own policy cheapest i found was just over 3.8k! this cant be right?
Oh and for the people that think uninsured drivers are the biggest risk, think again, the number of foreigners that come over here, on their countrys driving licence you will not believe, they are entitled for a year to drive on their licence, and then apply for a provisional, which they do, but they continue driving on it without a supervisor. I have experienced so many of these cases and am proud to say ive got a number of the f***ers of the road
