FINALLy got insurance sorted for MM.

On the Moggy...presuming she likes it on Saturday and we actually drive it back....£461 tpf&t, including breakdown cover and £100k of legal cover.
Now THAT is reasonable imho for a teenager.

What I can't get me 'ed 'round, is the fact that in reality, the Moggy is a vastly inferior car in the safety dept to a modern one, yet it's deemed to be a far lesser risk!
No ABS. No airbags, no crumple zones, no soft dashboard, no crash beams in the doors, no disc brakes, no dual circuit brakes, no hazard flashers, no hrw, no laminated screen.
Now I'm not saying the car is unsafe, but the risk of survival and injury in the event of a biggy is far far less than the N Cap rated veihicles of today.

Most of us in here survived with these old timers in the past however it seems, so can't be that bad in reality.
The key is for top class driver training, simple.

That quote seems to be pretty fair considering the original figures you were given. As long as she does not prang it not only will the premium come down but the car should retain its' value.

It's a 'classic car' policy, and they don't attract an annual ncb as such, but the premium does come down anyway in line with your age, until at 25 when it virtually bottoms out at around the £100 mark.

So you've bought her a death trap

No dumbnuts, just not as many maby pamby safety features as there are today.

I drove a 105E with NO seatbelts and more rust holes than a ruddy culender whern I was a teenager.
What about you then smart arse?

Good point, well spotted.

His driving, regardless of the shit heap he drives, is absolutely diabolical btw.....I know. I've had the misfortune of sitting alongside his eratictnuss on a death wish trip.

I bet he is too bizzy yacking/smoking/pulling bits of food off his jumper to concentrate on the road....

"I wish to cancel."

Why?

   RAC and AA have been milking membership lists for money operations for ages now. 

That said might be worth googling to see what the new provider is like when you make a claim.  I know I can get cheaper than my NFU insurance but they've been good when things get awkward
