    Almost no crashes involve a driver wearing a bowler hat, so I'm going to ask my insurer if wearing one will reduce my premium.

    When I rang to increase our annual milage from 10k to 14k the annual premium went down!
    Just goes to show there is no logic when it comes to insuring a car.

    Despite my wife having had a provisional licence for the past 9 years, the insurance is cheaper if I add her as a second driver.

    It makes no sense whatsoever.
    Mine too, by about 35%!!
    Insurance companies like couples, particularly married ones. Try it - do a dummy quote saying you're married.
