I have just moved to Scotland and have just passed my driving test and am currently looking at cars/insurance. When getting a quote I have been putting my mother as a named driver and getting 1/3 off the cost .
However she lives in northern Ireland and will never drive it ever(have another female relative in Scotland who will also never dive it) .... is this ok or am I breaking the rules?

it just feels like I am beating the system, which usualy ends badly lol

    It is ok.

    Make sure that all your named drivers keep you up to date with their claims/convictions/notifiable illnesses etc and that you in turn keep your insurer informed of these.

    The risk is they have incidents and dont tell you about them.

    Other than that its all OK.
