    thanks i will ask that too

    My son was asked where he wanted to be career wise in 5 years. He answered in the police :mad:. Needless to say he did not get that job (not the police) and has never managed the police because he did not get the right qualifications. He got the next job when he answered that he wanted to be at least one up from where he started in that company, something like that, after I told him that when he went for an interview he had to believe that all he ever wanted to do was THAT job!

  • Quick Question, I have a £5 off a £50 spend from Mr T. How does it work with BG? I know it used to work on pre multi discounts, what does it do with BG? Before or after total?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Arthien....I'm with mhoc on this one too....

    Your bil could look at getting a policy with a black box,they can really bring down premiums too....but its one of those things that newly qualified drivers have to put up with I'm afraid....the premiums will reduce over time but dont put yourself at risk just to bring down a premium.

    Our DS currently has no need for his car being at uni,and it is parked outside our house...both OH and I are authorised users on his policy but we dont use the car any more than if DS was at home in case there is the slightest hint of fronting.
    It does seem that we are paying a large amount for it to be unused but in our mind its better to do that than risk prosecution in any way...
    Before anyone suggests...sadly we can't put it off road as we don't have a driveway or garage.


    I think if it feels wrong...it could end up going wrong for everyone involved.


    I agree about 'fronting'. I had mum on my policy years ago but she lives down the road and regularly drove the car as I tire easily.

    On the subject of uni kids cars. My sister was in the same position when her dd was a freshman. The car was on the drive for a year and her dh drove it on rare occasions like when their cars were being serviced to to collect their dd from uni. I think with uni kids it can easily be explained as so many are banned from having cars on campus. Plus sister and her oh both have their own cars so had no real need to use their dds just the occasions stated above.

    I think of fronting more when a parent insures the car in their own name but child drives it mostly. My boys both paid huge insurance premiums until 25 as they always had good cars. £2000 a year was not unusual back then.
