• any - Accident prevention 21 Nov 2012 (Forum)
  In today's Telegraph OnLine is a thought provoking article : http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/9683206/Young-drivers-could-be-banned-from-carrying-non-family-passengers.html One of the marked things about having two cars coming up fast and overtaking dangerously is that they are generally driven by two mates egging each other on.

  Is she liable for the damage? She doesn't want to go via insurance company as she has a large excess anyway as a young driver.
• Are you a risk taker on the road? 26 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  Hey all, I'm a student doing a study on young drivers aged 18-23 on the subject of risky behaviour. I'd really appreciate it if you filled out this quick survey for me, so I can do some awesome science and figure out whether we are a nation of psychopaths driving ourselves to oblivion.

• small bump - advice please 30 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  Walking out of the supermarket 5 minutes ago saw a car reverse into mine. Small bump. I walked in front of the car and asked to exchange details. Young man got out and by the light of his mobile phone decided there was no damage to the front of my car so declined to give any details. His girlfriend was the driver. I pointed out you can't decide these things in the dark.

• "30% of drivers can't afford insurance" ? 13 Oct 2010 (Forum)

• MG4 - Driving school EV 11 Jun 2023 (Forum)
  I was a bit surprised at first but then it made perfect sense. The majority of  new cars are now automatic and many young drivers will never drive a manual and  may even be looking at an EV as their first car. Also cheap running costs for the school as driving school cars don't do huge daily mileages and a lot of it is in towns so ideal EV territory.
• Accident - Insurance Expired 30 Jul 2017 (Forum)
  I very carelessly allowed my car insurance to expire and then a month later I caused a collision, only a minor one but unfortunately the young lady driver suffered some injuries and has loss of earnings expenses and also damage to her car.   As I had no insurance cover and don't have much money saved, she has told me she will be suing me for damages.
• When Does Fully Comp Cease to be Better? 15 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  Let's assume it's worth £3k, the quotes I got from a comparison site were about £1500 (with a £250 excess) due to young foreign driver. I'm tempted to go for 3rd party F&T which seem to be about £200 or so less. Any thoughts?
• Driving age 'must increase to 18' 20 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6904821.stm ... though "This group should also be banned from carrying passengers aged between 10 and 20 from 11pm to 5am" is a difficult one, it would effect people using a car for work between those hours and their ability to give lifts / car share. Also a sensible young driver would not be able to pick up his teanage sibling from a party etc.
