how do you decide who is a racer and who is not when both have passed their test? Stopping kids and new drivers from driving fast cars would reduce potential claims, and the insurance would be cheaper.

Well, why dont we just make the speed limit 30 everywhere to lessen the chances of people having car crashes? This is a ridiculous idea. Why just stop kids? Stop EVERYONE from driving fast. hence no accidence? this follows the same logic? ridiculous!

Just because you have the money to pay for a crazy car, does not make you capable of controlling or driving the car / bike properly.

Hmm i never actually said that. And you dont think people with 1.2's can still be stupid and cause accidents? Someone i know took there 1.2 corsa to 125 mph, and overtakes at everypossibility, ive even witnessed them have near accidents.

I see no reason to be added to your dad's insurance. He will not be better at teaching than a qualified instructor, and the car will be most likely be way more powerful and harder to control than the one you learn in from your lessons.

Im ready for my test. The lessons I have with my driving instructor are no different to me driving on my own at the moment! he just says turn left, right 3pointturn etc etc. All i pay him 20 quid an hour for is renting his car basically. The option im thinking of is cheaper. The car is not "too powerful". Its a 1800cc that ways about 1.6tonnes. and has about 120bhp. Its 0-60 is about 1 sec quicker than the 1.2 corsa. For driving around town... i doubt it will be too powerful for me to 'lose control'.

Anyway. This is totally irrelevant to my original post, i only wanted to know some information about insurance in the uk, and if what i wanted is possible... as ive heard people say it is. I didnt want a discussion or criticism!
