    If you crash in that I guarantee the insurer will cop on it is not your "mother's" car. You might think you were smart to insure in her name for the disounted premium but to whom is the car registered, who is the purchase invoice for the car made out to? How was the car paid for - can your mother show the funds being taken from her account? All servicing, maintenance and fuel costs etc - who is going to pay them and to whom therefore will all those bills be issued? Last but not least, does Aviva know this is not factory standard?

    If you crash that car you are heading for a world of trouble and you will not be making any no claims bonus in your name so no benefit of premium savings in future if you don't crash.

    Poor choice.
    car is regestered to mum
    purches invoice in mums name
    money was removed from mums account i paid her cash !
    there is a white diesel tank at the house and i fill my car from that because its cheaper ! and yes accualy i did tell aviva that i have coilovers and a powerflow !!! just cause im from donegal dn't assum im trying something doagy ! poor choice on what ???

    Being main driver for a car on which you are a named driver - doubtless you will be back on Boards whining when Aviva give you a hard time if you need to claim.

    Taking the policy in your own name means in 1 year you get a 30% discount and so on - when you do take a policy in your own name in say 2 years you will find little difference in the premiums - it is NCB which really brings the premium down.

    My god lads he's 18 - give him a break!

    p.s. love the car, much nicer than i imagined it to be! :cool:

    i know u have this opion that all young drivers are tubes and willl crash every car they get ! but that is sterotypeing my car rarely passes 50mph i was in a crash befor and learned my lesson!(not me driveing) i know that idealy i would be in my own name but im not in a position where im able to do that atm :( i am a typical teenager as in i like to go out and injoy myself but dn't drink
    the reason i have no money is im currently paying my way through college ! named driver experence being 19 and not 18 and haveing my pink will take my premium down a brave bit (touch wood)

    All the talk on this thread about dear insurance for young males and on your first trip out, you park it across 2 lanes of a bridge, with no L plates :rolleyes:

    Sure if it's safe, with a clear sight of vision and the driver is in the car what's the problem? My mate has taken shots of his car on the Samual Beckett bridge!!

    On a general note, I think some people need to get off the OP's back and caste their minds back to when they got their first car and the excitement they felt. Sure me Da is in his 50's and he was like a schoolboy in a sweet shop when he ordered his car there before Xmas.

    I can see what people mean about the insurance but the price of good over is astronomical these days and the sooner he starts, the cheaper it will slowly but surely become.

    Congrats fanadman... have to say shes looking good! Just make sure your mum uses the car as well just in case anything happens... and don't mind about the boy racer comments. Living in Dublin for past 12 years (originally donegal) and you should see some of the eedjits driving here, how hard is it to use a roundabout?? And I know what you mean of the back roads at home, they're murder on the alloys as well, they don't like kerbs much either :D

    It was dangerous parking. You are neither experienced enough or qualified to decide if it was sufficiently safe.

    I'm very surprised that the qualified driver you had with you, allowed you to do it in the first place :rolleyes:

    Dangerous parking?? He was hardly leaving it there and going off to Tesco for the weekly shop was he?? :rolleyes:

    Many a time have we used Samual Beckett bridge or overpasses or the quays for photo opportunities. It can be done safely.

    I'm just trying to work out why your whole post was putting the OP down? :confused:

    I'm not putting down the OP in a personal sense. I'm just pointing out that every insurance discussion on this forum, relating to young drivers, always ends the same way. Thieving insurance companies having it in for law abiding young males. This thread is an example of fronting, dangerous parking, an inexperienced driver with a powerful car and driving while unaccompanied by a qualified driver. There is a direct relationship between this and high premiums.

    Before anyone asks or states the obvious, yes, I was a brat on the roads myself at 18. I'm just saying it has consequences on what you pay

    Just FYI, that won't reduce your insurance that much. My insurance (on my dads policy) only dropped by €100 when I passed test...(and went up by €400 this year! Goodbye Aviva!)
