There are no ways around it really, you can't cheat insurers at their own game, they're better at it than the rest of us.

Get yourself on the logbook
Insure yourself as the main driver
Add you mum as an additional driver

Not necessarily, but what options have you got?  You're the main driver!

Try confused.com its pretty good for changing things around and seeing what prices you get back.

that's not sods law. that's just living in a different country. you'd be amazed at the property you could buy in canada for the same money here.

back on topic £2500 for insurance is mental. get on confused.com or similar and look at other companies. if you decide to front, then the most sensible thing to do is to remove all evidence of it from public forums, and choose your words very carefully when dealing with the insurance company.
