Named drivers

[rugrat]

"Direct Line has announced that it will begin to take named drivers' driving histories into account when calculating no claims discounts. Some 18 million drivers in the UK are named drivers on another person's policy, and up until now they have had to start from scratch to build up their own no-claim discounts when purchasing their first policy. The ABI is expecting the move from Direct Line to put pressure on other industry leaders to follow suit which could dramatically lessen the cost of first-time policies for younger drivers. Emma Holyer from Direct Line said the move is 'a major step forward for those motorists who have been paying over the odds for their insurance'."

Not sure if that's good or not.

its not a bad idea itll still not make driving big ins cars any cheaper, just means less people using named drivers probably after their first year of driving. I might be wrong (jesus H. the amount of times in the past!)
Id say they will stand to be on a winner as two policies may offer more income combined rather than one policy inflated.

You should phone up churchil insurance tell them your car can not be stolen, even the police stay away and will not give you a ticket !!!! WHY ? cos you own two snarling rottweilers, they should give you discount for the best car security, if they hesitate tell them your dogs will be walking nearby next time they are out.... lol ----- NO only joking have you guys tried ELEPHANT.CO.UK they are cheap....
