If you ride with consideration you will not be tarred with the same brush. Good luck in affording insurance at 17, I think you may find £17 a week rather cheap when you start getting insurance quotes. Mopeds aren't death traps in their own right, it takes an idiot of a rider to make them that, perhaps you are scared you will fit that bill?
Have you thought of car/taxi sharing? If three of you are all paying £17 a week I'm sure you will find a taxi firm that will take you for less than £50 a week
