I have to be on my dads insurance for the landy because it's ridiculously expensive... He is over 50 and a solicitor about 10 years ncb or more and no accidents etc

hope you mean on your dads policy you as main driver and not a spot of insurance fronting as a named driver ?

Man you pay some big prices.
Im 42 no points.
But a few months ago I had a 300Tdi and was with lancasters but they decided that they would no longer do limited mileage policys on vehicles under 20 years old.

So I now have a G reg 1990 3.5 V8 Disco with Gas on it and full comp £189 on a linited mileage policy.

I have been quoted £60k before for insurance on a vehicle worth £5k. I'm not joking either.

Just to add further to the poor view of UK insurers - we bought young Ms Bonkers a 2006 Clio 1.4 Dynamique for her 17th birthday in July. Insurance as a learner (we started her off with own policy to build up NCD) with us as named drivers was £900.

Passed her test first time in December - premium shot up to £1300.

The logic is - and I kind of get it - is that as a learner she is always supervised, but as a full and new driver she is not.

Still think folk are right, they make it up day by day, and they take you for a mug if you simply renew each year.

Thank goodness for Meerkats - simples.

Just thank your lucky stars it was Ms Bonkers not Master Bonkers!
