anyway, lots of insurers DO give a discount for a IAM pass, you just need to ring and ask.
ROSPA is much better, for sure.
Always trying to start arguments lil piglet! As a matter of fact I had started my post before you. Now, back to the topic at hand...

While there may be things I learn from the course that may make me a better driver, I don't expect to get 25+ years of driving experience condensed into a short course that will bypass the fact that I've only been driving for about 15 months (9 provisional, 6 with a full license).
It's just really ironic that I've never had anything close to an accident whilst driving on the road, even when I used to give it a bit more gun than I do now. May have been luck, but I'd never drive dangerously or in traffic, there's a time and a place. Then I go and have an accident outside my mates house on a road that nobody ever seems to use
It's something I'll have to look into more, with quotes always changing (usually increasing) it may either become a necessity or a waste of money. My renewals not till July next year anyway aha!
Then you have the wrong attitude and you are going to waste your money. Are 18 year olds really this naive these days? And since when the hell is a 306 the stereotypical young lad's car? Haven't you heard of corsas, saxos, clios, etc?
Yeah obviously. Do one mate, making new usernames because you got banned isn't what anyone wants or needs.
Years ago and even now you see tons of lads in 306s. That can't be disputed. Young people drive them. They're cheap and economical but can be tuned to put out decent power easily.
And obviously I've heard of those, insurance is generally higher for those as well. Considering its a nation of 60 million I'd be a bit shocked if EVERY SINGLE PERSON drove a 306.
