They're not that cheap. I've tried all sorts for quotes and the cheapest for me (22, license for 2 years) is a Vauxhall Corsa 1 litre (2001-2003 age). The only other car where quotes have been close to the Corsa was a Seat Arosa. :shrug:Quote:

Yeah, I was looking online and they're expensive enough for what they are. Are Vauxhall reliable, I've seen a lot of Corsas around here, I want a car that never breaks and gives no problem which is why I want a Japanese car. I'm insured on my parents 05 Toyota Corolla Verso until the end of May which is nice.Quote:

Yeah, second hand buying seems like something anyone who doesn't know what to look out for could easily get scammed on, I would nearly just go to a car dealer if I had the money for a car.
Do you have your full license?
Yes, have had for 2 years in August.Quote:

If I turn 25 and get a full license the insurance will drop significantly because at that age you're less likely to drive like an idiot.
Apparently 2 years of driving is when you're most likely to have a crash, after 7 years of driving is when you are likely to crash as anybody else who has been driving for say 20 years.
Those statistics are stupid.
I never crashed my car and I've been driving for 5 ish years now.I never drove like an idiot though because that's stupid. The Insurance thing is ridiculous though, you shouldn't be assumed a bad driver because you have less than 7 years. I know people who have been driving for 20 years that I'm afraid to get in a car with.Quote:

I suppose. I'd class myself as not confident behind the wheel, and I'm well aware a license doesn't mean you can drive, that's when you first start learning. :dread:Quote:

(Unless you're 21, then you can just walk in and take the driving test, though you'll probably fail.)
You don't get a driver's license until you have proven you know how to drive at least somewhat capably.
Figured I'd go with the American spelling of it.Quote:

I actually think that based on how many people under 25 act it's reasonable of Insurance companies to charge more, I don't like it but I can understand why it's done.Quote:

I'm just not confident driving yet, and haven't driven since the day I passed. :dread:
How much is insurance over there for you guys? It sounds like it's through the roof, damn.... Car insurance is pretty reasonable here - I pay about $90 a month and have full coverage through a pretty good company. It's our health insurance that is fucked here though :wacko:Quote:

Yeah the health insurance here is fucked up. I had gallbladder surgery last year and I got a bill for 40,000.They wanted me to make 2,000 payments a month.
