You're obviously an expert though, so you must know about the costs involved in claims with young drivers.

Bollox? Get a grip? If the truth hurts then nothing i try to explain is going to get you to get your head out your **** is it?
FYI I'm 36 yr old.......quotes for 18yr olds don't mean jack to me, I made a quote on a friends daughter

Instead of your snide comments on me being a expert give me a ring to discuss it ......sent you my numbers via pm for insurance quotes over 2 weeks ago
Truth hurts
I'll re say it.....if you wasn't in insurance you wouldn't agree with half of what you type
Give me a call if you want

I work in the business so i see the figures and where the claims come from, so i understand why some prices are high.

TBH insurance is just a job to me, i have no passion for it, so why it matter to me?

I see some of the 17/18 year old tossers driving near us, using the roads like race tracks, and i'm glad the cost is so high for them, or there would be more on the road.

As for 'snide comments', don't post offensive stuff like you did (saying i talk bollocks) and not expect me to react to it.

Nice to see you're quick enough to moan about me not calling you back, but forgot the pm's i replied to helping you when you needed advise. If you did want a quote i think you've shot yourself in the foot there.

It's the 10-20mph crashes that seem to cause the issues due to inexperience, rather than speed involved.

We can do from 19+

For an Impreza it's really 25+ where we are competitive, but that might change in the next few months (to 22+)

That was on a horse and cart though Gary wasnt it? Surely they didnt have motorcars that long ago!
