While this is understandable, it is also very stupid. The parents are actually paying hundreds of pounds for NO insurance whatever.
The association of British Insurers says the price of insurance is related to the risks that 17 to 25 year old drivers cost. They are not being deliberately mean to young drivers, but the numbers year after year, show that young male drivers do stupid things on the road which cost money to fix.
Prosecute my ass! If I were a parent - it is my money, I have bought the car, my name is on the title. How are they going to prove that I'm not the main driver? Yes, my son may be driving it to school every day...but I might then be driving the car all night long, therefore having more time behind the wheel than him.
They can't prove shit, unless they start monitoring people, which the last time I checked was still illegal.
