Car insurance - adding parents to get premium down

Just ordered a new car, and about to sort the insurance.
Playing with the online quote system means that if i add my mum i it reduces my insurance by £150 per year, and if i add my dad as well it reduces it by a further £40.
Am I doing anything wrong if I add them to the insurance despite the fact that they don't live within 200 miles of me and will probably never ever drive the car? My naming them as drivers am I informing the insurance company that they will at some point be driving the car.

Totally agree. Provided you are not saying that they are living with you or anything like that, go for it.
All I would say is that when it comes round to getting quotes next year, I suggest you get prices with and without them again to see if there is still a difference.In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and was widely regarded as a bad move.The late, great, Douglas Adams.0
