Keep hold mate, insurance is going to be silly until you've got at least 2 years NCB under your belt.
However, if you can add someone of much more experience to your policy, as a second driver, that will bring your insurance down lots. So anyone like your Mum, Dad or even your 28 year old girlfriend . Crazy really, as you are still the main driver on the policy so it's all legit, even if all they do is move the car off the driveway!
I agree with him mate. I went with quinn 10 months before I passed my test and was insured on provisional, stayed with them for another 2 months and got 1 years no claims (thanks to their provisional policy rules )
When it came up for my 2nd year of insurance with them it was £1800 a year with my mum as a named driver.
Now, i'm 19 and I have 2 years no claims, It's only costing me £695 a year through aviva with my mum as named driver. Hold onto it till next summer and then get something nice and shiny !
Your Mum as the main driver? Isn't that called fronting? IE, illegal ?
I'm sure that only says 'named driver' so surely that's legal? Or have I missed something...?
Thought soNamed driver means second driver.. I'm the main driver.

Thought so
Messing about with main and named drivers is too risky. When applying for insurance it's always better to be honest, even with stuff like coilovers or wheels.. simply because if you crash or do someone else damage you'll be made to pay for it if you void it.
keep your ph1 mate, few years time, get a 172 or something
thanks for all your help, i already have my mum as the main driver (is that illegal?)
and she doesn't even use the car
and i'm paying £114 per month has she has lots of NCB.
Wrong!
I believe insurers are still legally obliged to provide TPFT cover, so essentially it would cover the other party but you would get diddly squat!
