My insurane was £1200 a year when I first passed and to be honest, it wasn't that bad. I went for a policy that allowed me to pay 2 months upfront and the rest over 10 months and it didn't hinder me financially at all, at that was fully comp with just me as a driver on the insurance.
That is an urban myth. Whether their policies were using telematics or not, if they completed a full policy year without making any claims then they would receive a years NCD the same as any other policy. The only time that they wouldn't is if they cancelled the policy before renewal or made a claim.
There's a little trick if you are afraid to be raped by the driver.
Take a picture of the car and the driver before you get in, and send it to the cloud or Facebook.
Without the "blackbox" it would of been £6000!!!!!!!!
This thing shot out from a side road, so I went straight into the passenger door. Fortunately I was only doing 20 miles on a residential road, so his girlfriend was unhurt.
As luck would have it, I had a Telematics box from Insurethebox, which called my mobile within a minute.
The record showed I was clearly on the major road, so the other insurance company had no wriggle room.
I did take some pictures and send them on to be doubly sure.
I wondered how much his premium went up to?
I also wondered if the girlfriend lost her legs, would he still marry her?
I did put OH on it as he's eight years older than me and has 11 years NCD. That has been a blessing

Funny that as I looked at 10 different cars with the insurance and this was the cheapest to insure by £250...
