Hi Guys,
I have been reading a few posts recently on this site and others involving people crashing, rolling their cars (sad times). I noticed that a lot of people seem to be 19, 20, 21 years old etc.
I was surprised by this because I assumed that drivers of these cars would be older due to the very high insurance costs these days. I am 34 (just) with 9 years no claims, married, 2 kids etc etc and my quote is £500 fully c. Which isn't exactly cheap so I can only imagine that its sky high for the younger guys !
This brings me back to my original observation and it seems insurance companies charge a lot more for a reason
. You can't blame them really !
I also have first hand experience with this topic as when I was 19 my first car was an Escort XR3i that lasted 6 months before I smashed it through a field (to fast round a corner in the wet) and then when I was 24 I had a Lancia Delta Intergrale that I also crashed after about 6 months of ownership due to excessive speed again :-(. I put this down to being a little too young and excitable to be driving quick cars !
oh yeah, and not having enough talent to keep em on the road ;-)
Anyway just wondering what the average age is of 197/200 owners on here?
