Hi, I tried to get one of my boys on my farm insurance (NFU) for driving the Surf and they said no way until he was 25. He still drives the tractor which could do a lot more damage than a Surf. How ridiculous.

lol we'll fair enough then..
saying that I have a few things on my name in this country regarding driving..
uninsured as when I got here I came back from Australia and there u get third party with the tax....
So seen as the van was taxed I never thought more about it
6 points and £140 fine
then a few days later I got snapped in the bus..
driving the 21 at 36 in a 30 mile zone... cus the speedo was not working.
3 points and £142 fine seen as I drive on a southern Irish licence.
so yeah not to flash either..
but all the points go off in March..
So my insurance shud drop right down I hope seen as I have 9 years No claim and every license possible...
So think that it is just your illness that affects it really..
They are C****** like that...One day at the time I guess..

i have a full clean licence
but
my dads got a few enterpises one of wicth is on land thats cut off by the rail way lines and the river don
when they drop they go down for hours
late at night and the early hours of the morning they are down for about 80% of the time so there is no way i or out
well i get a phone call at about 3 in the morning
my dad saying there some one on the yard alarms are going off
so i jumped into the surf and when down the back of town
on the wrong side of the river don knowing that the rail way crossing will be down
i when down the back of a place called maga
over a gyps hump across a little disused field then a bit of a wood
brings ya out at the locks
over a disused bridge then iam on to the back of steel street
were the yard is
i ramed a pick up that was racing the same way i had just come from
but he got a way
so i when to the ilegal way on to this industreal estate
and razzed it up making it too deep for pick ups
i did make a mess of it
it was all on cctv
the cops came down the next day and gave me a grilling
but could understand why i did it
but i find it hard to let go
i kept going through that way every time i had a late night phone call
but one time i ran into to armed response and the dog unit out trianing
OOOPS
it took some swinging the chef wanted my licence there and then
but one of the dog unit guys told him how crime had fallen since i ripped up the path
i was let off
never done that since
and thats just one of the things i have doneam not die lex sick its you that cant read mate

i think we all have to get a grip here- Im sure the young guy said " I have been drivign 5 months now" so realistically he aint what you call an experienced driver. Also stepping froma 1.0ltr normal car to a powerful; 4X4 is a big change.
Also some people dont seem to have twigged that the cost of insurance is not all linked to the value of the car but more to the likely hood of killing/maiming someone else and the claim that would incur.
We all have seen the articles recently on the experienced driver who had a mishap and sadly his kids died and the one posted only days ago where another 4X4 driver was killed when his flipped inthe very wet weather -the risk is high from an insurance perspective.
i do hope you manage to get a something sorted
