What happens (to insurance) when kids crash cars?

Oh just read it was in Scotland!  In that case the course is not an option.

Thanks @poly I guess we've got a few months of nervously checking the post then 🙂  Sounds as though something that would result in him losing his licence is pretty unlikely though.

They had closed the road when I got there (nice big blue Police sign and some cones) but the mood was very much "no harm done, lesson learnt".

Insurance prices have gone through the roof in the past year.

Both my home and driving policies increased by 50%.

Tried shopping around but could not find anything much cheaper so did not switch.

Even without this accident his renewal premium may have been painful. I can also see why there are so many uninsured drivers - do they ever get caught/fined/banned?

His lifestyle may have to change. Maybe rent a room local to work and stay there during the week?

A moped may be insurable but commuting all year round in Scotland wouldn't be fun.

After my first prang I cycled from Raeding to Basingstoke and back every day for about four months - got very fit but had zero energy left for anything else.
