AND WE ALL PAY A PREMIUM ON OUR INSURANCE BECAUSE OF THIS :evil: :evil: :evil: do you blame them now ???
We have all been young and paid the prices ..... is it the insurance companies or the accident statistics of young/inexperienced drivers?? If you want cheaper insurance drive a smaller car... :-.
Watching police on telly last night they now take your car and give you a £200 fixed penalty and 6 points, you can collect your car when you prove it is insured...... for a fee :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Not paying is a gamble.... you may get away with it.... you may kill some innocent child/motorist/pedestrian, and you may just get a fine...
Just as an aside from not paying, I had a small bump in the van in November.... the bill was over £8000 without solicitors fees @ £219 per hour (none fault)

The problem is that alot of young drivers do drive like tools these days.
Its the chav culture!!
I think we should have the same system that they have in the states, where you buy your registration every year, or every other year or however long it is, and it comes with third party insurance built in, so if you have a crash the other persons car is sorted, and vice versa!!

because its so ******* expensive. i dont blame them. im about to turn 21 and im paying £1300 to insure my land rover defender.
when i was 17 i was paying £2400 to insure my land rover defender. it ridiculous, of course they are not going to pay insurance if its this expensive.

Sorry mate... you're well off target with this one...
I shouldn't blame them if they hit another car... who pays..?
I shouldn't blame them if they hit a person... who pays..?
I shouldn't blame them if they embed they're vehicle in a house... demolishing the corner supporting structures... requiring a full demolish/rebuild... who pays?
Insurance aint an option, driving aint a right... if they aint insured... they shouldn't be driving... end of.
Most of the older driver on here (me included... :oops:) have in the past had to pay huge insurance premiums... we got on with it... or... in my case... took the bus/train etc!
Course... hopefully... we will start to see a fall in the whole un-insured/untaxed/un-MOT'd vehicles with the advent of the wonderful ANPR systems used on police vehicles. Course... the crowd that avoid getting the appropriate certificates... tend not to be the brightest bulbs in the chandelier....!

oh no, i quite agree with what your saying 100%.
but they cant wonder why so many young people are uninsured its obvious!! it doesnt make it right, but surely the cost of it is where the problem lies?

Rubbish.
I don't know anyone who didn't drive like an idiot when they were a lad. Be it power sliding mini's round roundabouts, thrashing montagoes, rolling across fields after cooking corners or trying to wind that 1.3 micra upto a ton on a motorway.
Nothing to do with chavs, if anything modern cars are far safer, and the amount ofcrap which they weight down the little corsa's with that little 1.0 lump dragging 1/2 a tonne of plastic and chrome isn't going to do much with increasing the top speed. The braker better, wider low profile tyres are more common. A lot of little chav mobiles handle like they are on rails. That's not something you can say about an austin allegro or a metro on hydroelastic suspension.
What it sounds more like is rose tinted specs of 'when I were a lad...'
Oh in victorian times, guess what, there was still problems with knife crime, people nicking stuff and arson.
