Dilema

Spottedleopard

So my sister has just passed her driving test and I will be insuring her to use my car ON OCCASION

I need my car for work I would say 80% of the time- I travel around a lot during the day to visit clients, collections, deliveries etc.
I would say 90% of the "driving" time I do actually physically NEED the car- I can lug heavy machinery sometimes 3/4 at a time on the tube or the bus.

My sister lives a 3 minute walk away from the tube station- she can get to college, work and most of her friends and her boyfriends houses directly in under 20 minutes. She is saying she "needs" the car as the journey is tiresome during the rush hour- like it is for a lot of people. And its no better driving

I have told her I cannot provide her with a car 7 days a week to drive the 4 miles to college, the roughly 6 miles to work and then to her friends and her boyfriends when she feels like it.
She is paying for her own insurance in full, will give me £50 a month towards petrol and will pay 1/2 the road tax when it is due

I have said the best I can do for her is to drop the car off on the night before I will be working at home/can manage on the tube (twice a week at least) and pick it up the evening before I need it, but she is kicking off about it.

Am I being unreasonable? I paid for the car 100% and another one of her arguments is that "I am paying for my own insurance, I am entitled to use it".

I'm thinking it would be easier to buy her own cheap run around.

I would just let her buy her own car and tell her the deal is off!

Recently qualified driver especially in London, there's a fairly high chance of her having an accident which will put the price of your Insurance up.

(You mention she has paid for "her own" insurance, I assume this is the cost of adding her to your policy)
