Young People More Reluctant To Drive

In recent years it has become more and more common for young drivers in the UK to put getting a driving license at the bottom of their list. The simple fact now is that being able to run a car and afford the car insurance is just too expensive. Drivers who do gain their drivers license and purchase a car start off with no years no-claims bonus which means their car insurance premium is likely to be over a £1000.

However after having built up at least one year of no-claims bonus, a young drivers insurance premium can drop at least £250 which is very good news. This type of situation wasn't the norm 10 years ago. Young drivers were very keen to gain the license at the age of 17. The cost of driving lessons were cheaper, the test appointments were cheaper and of course insurance premiums were cheaper. But there are still ways to lessen the impact of car insurance if you are a young driver. Some basic points would be not modifying your car. This would guarantee a lower car insurance premium. Buying a vehicle in a low insurance group will also save you money. For example the Vauxhall Corsa is placed in group 1 while a high performance Audio TT Roadster would be in group 20 and thus increase your car insurance premium dramatically. Another great way to save money is to get an insurance quote online. Website such as insureyourmotor.co.uk offer amazing deals. Please visit the site today for more information.
