Insurance has come down with the illogical no 'sexism' rules.

Has it?  I thought insurers were just going to use it as an excuse to shaft women as much as us men, rather than actually bring ours down a bit.  Perhaps the young chaps like Mr Redpath should be campaigning for a no age-ism rule as well!  Seems to have worked for employment law so why not insurance?  They can't very well argue against it after the sexism thing.  Either you are profiling the risk of an individual (and therefore by definition you are discriminating) or you are not... can't have it both ways.

Personally I think it is appalling the way young drivers are treated by insurance.

Yeh I definitely noticed a difference. It affects Gents under 25 the most as it is our cahones that put the premium up the most after our age. After 25 the influence of sex on the premium reduces and other factors start to increase.

It tends to go down at 21 then at 25 again. I'm insurance almost halved when I turned 21. It's horrific when your 17. I couldn't get insured on a car when I was 17 cheapest quote was just under 5k for a 1.2. Ended up using dads car. Lasses at my school were getting 1 and a half grand quotes for the same car!

54, maybe add 1 by the time the car arrives!

I don't think it's a case of not being able to afford the car itself. Most drivers 21 and under are insured out of the vehicle before it gets to that stage.

Unless you're prepared to fork out or you're on a fleet policy.

28, probably 29 by the time it arrives...

Guess this thread shows the GTI appeals to all ages!
