It amazes me how young/first time drivers get insured in the US. For
example on many occations and in various places I have seen young American
drivers getting insured on and happily driving around in 5.0litre Mustangs!
now over here in the UK, any insurance company would laugh at anybody under
about 28yrs of age who wanted to insure a Mustang let along get a decent
priced quote! My first car was a 1984 Toyota Corolla with a 1.3litre engine
and the cheapest quote I received for third party only cover was 1000
pounds Sterling! :evil: (soz pound symbol doesn't work Grrr). So what is
it that makes the price of insurance differ so much? any feed back would be
much appreciated.

Then maybe the laughing about insuring a young driver in a 5.0 Mustang was
not about willing to, but rather about the drivers not willing or able to
afford the premiums. Quite a difference.
I'm sure the UK car insurance companies are more than willing to take the
money of a young sports car driver. If they truly aren't...have the driver
call me...and I'll add him to my insurance for a start up fee and a monthly
fee to be determined. ;)
