Default Insurance.. LOL

My mate in college with me recently wrote off his 1.0 3 cylinder corsa, he was paying 1900 a year insurance on it!! because he is 17 and from the south wales valleys. His insurance company are paying him 800 quid for his car which he thought was good untill they told him he had a 750 quid excess ! He did go through with it though and got his 50 quid

Surely he shouldn't have claimed at all ........ that claim is going to cost him MUCH more than £50 over the coming years!

He should have slowed down a bit by the sound of it. Speed - Talent = Crash

Expensive lesson to learn though!

I crashed twice when I was 17 (both my fault). Taught me how expensive it costs in insurance premiums and repairs. Learn my lesson the hard way too.
