Im very fussy haha.
I dont want to drive anyway, i hate cars, i get bad travel sickness and i have never wanted a car.
Always wanted a motorbike
But im due to get all my holiday pay for this year when i finish ML in Sept, which is roughly about £900 so DH said to use it for driving lessons because i need a car if i want to be a midwife
So if im doing something i dont really want to do, im going to make it as pleasurable as possible
Glam, i thought that they would check background history?
They wouldn't let me anyway, my dad wouldn't even be a guarentor for my house a few years ago when i could of possibly been homeless.
Edit. He's not on the insurance Glam. Just meHe's doesn't even have a driving licence

It was over 5 years ago, if it's illegal then EA don't do it.

I hate and detest being a passenger, and i get travel sick being one, but do not get sick when actually driving. I think it may be that the actual driving takes your mind off it as you are concentrating.0 -
EA they don't credit check, i'm well in debt and have all kinds of defaults but they let me pay monthly.
I would try putting your mam on as a named driver, my quote one year was less cos i put my older ex OH on it.workinmummy wrote: »I hate and detest being a passenger, and i get travel sick being one, but do not get sick when actually driving.

Yeah same here0 -
Illegal advice removed
I too suffer from horrendous travel sickness which is why I insist on driving everywhere as I'm fine when I drive! I tend tojust say it's cos everyone else is a crap driver though!A very busy Yummy Mummy to a 1 year old gorgeous boy :smileyhea

EA, have you tried looking for quotes as if you'd done Pass Plus too? I think that cost me £100 and reduced my car insurance by more than £200 (in 2005, mind!). My first insurance, just me, on a 2003 Fiesta was £750ish after the PP reduction
Norwich Union used to do a 9mth policy which gave you a year's NCD (assuming no claims!) to help you build your NCD up quicker. That's what I had but not sure they do it anymore :cool:

My OH passed his test a fortnight ago. The cheapest insurance we've found so far is £1700:eek:
Removed my rather Illegal advice! Oops!
Thanks to MFD who was rightly voted Minister of Transport when we went through the Elections
Aah, between me reading and replying you've changed your post! I keep telling OH this is highly illegal but if you do it where your parent is a named driver it isn't and can still bring your price down.
OH wants a classic vw beetle, some companies won't touch him because he's 'too old' to drive a classic car :mad: And some won't because he's too young for a classic policy :mad::mad: I officially hate car insurance!
In better news my pram brakes now workBelly Monkey arrived 19.11.09 :j0
