If there are prizes involved then I'm getting serious.

Where do you live?

That's bloody cheap for your age. C'mon then spill the beans, how did you get it that low. Parents added to the policy? Limited mileage? You live on an island with only 4 inhabitants?

secret is letting them do you over a barrel for 4 years and paying over the odds. I'm not sure why its so cheap, its just me on the policy, a live in Oxfordshire, parked on the road. Cost £40 more to get the lady on the policy, same age, she's a student though and shes got 3 points.

Can you haggle with insurance companies then? I though you just had to swallow what ever they charged you :huh:
