Alot more of a car than you can get with nothing! In seriousness tho, they get double that (over 2 years) and including bonuses they get almost £3000 over 2 years.

£3000 total EMA
- £60 for school uniform
- £60 payment for 2 school years
- £20 stationary
-£1500 for car insurance
-£100 for car tax
= £1260 for a car, many full-time workers have cars worth around the same value! Again, I'm not saying I deserve this, I'm just saying they don't.

providing theres not 1 ikkle trip to the pics or a sandwhich to be bought.

None a 17/8yr old would be lucky to insure a car for £30 a week never mind the car cost, petrol and other running costs

Anyone she knows who has a car is clearly working or being subsidised by the parents

Most of the people I know (my age) spend around £1500 on car insurance and how can their parents support them if they're on EMA

when my lad checked the other day,it was an extra £150 per WEEK just to be added to my insurance.

I refused any ways.............the answer is still no!

As fun as arguements are, I don't want to get into another one but believe it or not, they work aswel even tho EMA is supposed to prevent this. I never said their cars were good either, some spent £400 on theirs so they have another £800 to play about with. Lets not get into what money is spent on, the fact is, it isn't spent on school, food or any essentials so why do they deserve it?

Are you serious? It would have cost me £500 on my parents insurance for just under a year.

yes and £30 a week equals 1500 so were are they getting the running costs, petrol, car

Not to mention what are they spending on when they get were there going

No one on EMA alone could afford a car

Colleges arent opposed to students having a job they just recommend that the student works a minimum amount of hours so it doesnt impact on theyre study time

So what's your point??

Maybe these kids aren't too interested in school but the £30 is a bonus so they may as well stay. They have then found a 'loophole' to your school's crazy policy (which I'm not even sure is true) to get a job too.

Why not speak to them and find out how they got a job and do the same?

yes but you would be an additional driver on an existing policy with NCD etc

As a new driver with a car of your own with no claims at all and either the fact you have to disclose your the principle driver or other cars in house it rockets

I could go on my mums when I was 17 for £600

When it came to insuring my own smaller car in my name or my mums with no NCD ( and the fact it was her 2nd car) that rocketed to over £1500

Your seriously naive

do you know this to befact?

no.....

lets not get into then, as you don't know the FACTS!

you think you know!

it also means, whoever Miss X is, that they saved the total amount of EMA up and have spent it after the 2 year course has finished, it means they will now have graduated and gone on to other things like Uni or into work. Perhaps in the equation (that you don't know) may have been a bonus paid to them from Bank of Mum and Dad or another relative!

Maybe.
