Aha now that makes perfect sense. Apologies if I seemed to singling you out but this stubject really gets on my tits as I've always paid my own insurance since I was 17.

i apologise as i am wrong, i thought my car had a policy under my dads name and i am second driver. after reading what other people were saying i showed my dad this thread, he told me that it was actually a buisness policy under his name and i was a named driver under the company policy, so i can drive any of the company cars fully comp as i work for the company, so it was £800 to add my name to the policy.

i apologise for any confussion,  :laugh:

that makes more sense!  :cool:

Aslong as its all legal then fair play. I called you a tos*er as it really really annoys me that people front, as its one of the reasons my insurance costs me £1500 for my car so you can understand my animosity towards you, however i apalogise as you are not doing anything illegal so its all good  :grin:

Hmmmm very interesting reading!!  :laugh: :laugh: But does it work the other way??? I have my mum and dad on my insurance which brings the premium down by a few hunderd smakaroonies! Is this illegal??? Surely not??? It was the insurance sales man who advised me to do it over the phone!

If it isnt then I'm guessing we should all grab a granny :embarassed:

That's fine if you're the main driver. I used to have my dad on my policy as he has a company car so used mine when he wanted to take stuff to the tip etc. Lowered my insurance to. I now have the Mrs on and she's over 30 with no claims or points ever it's even cheaper again.

Ahhh thank God for that!! But how do the insurance companies hope to prove that your not the main driver? And in my case they may attempt to prove that my dad is/was the driver. Its all these little questions that they ask.. which dont make things entirely clear!! e.g. The simple how many miles a year do you do on average??? Now I would say on average i do about 250miles per week. But what if choose to go across to mainland europe for a holiday which added 5k to the clock??
