    £2.5k sounds about right based on recent press reports about the cost of insurance for young drivers.

    As you work, if you intend to drive to work dont forget the insurance will need to be 'Commuting' not 'Social, Domestic & Pleasure'.
    Or Social, Domestic, Pleasure and Commuting....

    Yeah insurance is a con, I've been driving 23 years, never had a claim and have paid around £7k in total for nothing. I'm thinking about having an accident just to get my money's worth ;)
