Yeah was my first time :). But yeah wasn't overly bothered. Not many people pass first time. And it gave me an idea of what to focus on now. Just I can't afford lessons/another test for a while. What with my pittyful wage lol.

My insurance is £26 per month, and it goes up to £201 PER MONTH by adding one 17 year old boy!
This is for a 1 litre fiesta!
(I didn't even ask how much it would be for hubby's car)
the reason i never started lessons at 17 was cos i couldnt afford my own car and my mum said there was no way i was going on their insurance as it would be way too expensive. hopefully im gonna start learning this summer though :)
:eek: My parents' insurance is on a yearly basis. And it's for a 1.4 litre (I think) Nissan Micra. I heard that insurance for 17 year old boys is around double what it is for 17 year old girls but that sounds overly ridiculous!
Top Gear did a feature on car insurance for 17 yo males and one company wanted 8k a year :eek: I understand why premiums are so high for teenage males but 200 quid a month? That's daylight robbery.
:eek: that s ridiculous how can they charge that i don't think its fair on these young people at all something needs doing about it!Quote:
