dont forget you may have your license now but 6 points in 2 years and anyone looses their license now not just new drivers if i am correct and has to re take a test which the govenment are thinking to make so difficult you fail the forst time

they aleady added a theory test - yep another cash earner from teh motorist , while it is good to know the highway code there is no need to have to travel to preston and click a few mouse buttons at about £25 i think it was a go

i agree young drivers shoud be limited to maximum 1 liter vehicles then that way with all the extra fins and spolers etc they wont be able to break speed limits


NO they shoudl not make insurance unnafordable there is enough folk driving around without insurance as it is and besides with the prospect of getting a REAL job after leaving school insurance is probably unaffordable to young people alread

good to see the govrenment yet again using statistics as an excuse to screw motorists in one way or another

what about getting the elderly off teh roads they are just as much a danger to anyone as a young driver is


over to you Mr D lol
I agree with most of that.

It is a problem that needs looking at a 17yr male in BB post code is paying on average £2000 + to insure a car.

If they brough some new test in at an extra cost then on completion of this test I feel insurance companies should give a sizable discount to offset the extra cost.

A bit like the 'Pass Plus' at the moment but a bit more indepth.

That way its all round worth it.
