Been driving almost 4 years now.

Yeah it's a right bitch to insure on your first year of driving. I had to go under mum's insurance policy for the first 2 years of driving (Both years costing in and around £1200!).

That was on a 1.2 Jazz. Don't do what I did though, being 17 and all, I had more money than sense so I ended up modifying the little thing up and now I can't wait to get rid of the thing lol.

I'm 21 now, bought my own policy when I was 19 and I've got 1 years NCB. My insurance for the Jazz now is £900 inc. all mods declared and fully comp. Also allows me to drive any other car third party.

That said, my insurance policy also includes my mum on it. It would've cost me £1300 without her! Go figure!

Gonna change my car next year anyway. I've checked insurance quotes for an Accord Type R and it's only £1200 fully comp! A Civic Type R would've cost me £3000 for insurance.

Thinking back now, I used to be a right idiot on the road. I'm more composed than I used to be and I don't race everything off at the lights anymore. No point! The Jazz is too slow.

You might want a fast car but it's so much better to wait it out. I've been driving this Jazz for about 3 and a half years and I've covered 55,000 miles on it already (from new!

) and it's given me more experience on the road and I would feel more confident with a faster car. That said, I have had my fair share of driving really fast cars.
