      What happens if YOU are driving and have an accident in your car though? Is your mum penalised in any way by being named on your policy. Does it have any impact for her insurance or NCD if your the driver? Or does it only impact you in the event of an accident?

    I’ve got a black box and honestly it ain’t that bad, you sort of learn how hard you can break before it marks you, first week I went below my minimum points but soon went back to 100 and is staying at 100 😊
    Also be careful if you keep changing things when seeing if you can get it cheaper, they pull you up on it and can see how many times you’ve tried

    BE CAREFUL not to heavily quote insurance companies. You WILL get black listed. I was messing around with a fair amount, and some times it would increase a lot which I didn't understand why. So I kept changing and eventually the cheapest companies stopped giving quotes to me... I dont know if it can be revsersed

    Whether this is helpful for people or not, when I passed my test I got a brand new Peugeot 108 on a ‘just add fuel’ deal which I paid £270 (will obviously vary person to person depending on deposit and yearly mileage) a month and that included the cost of the car, insurance, they also pay for 3 years worth of tax and you get free roadside assistance and 3 years of free servicing BUT I had to have a black box for 3 years because I was under 21. This didn’t bother me as i do think it made me a better driver, it just annoys other people more😅 You have to be 18 but they don’t require a certain amount of years experience so it’s great for new drivers and it’s a 3 year finance contract! I found it so much easier to manage everything in 1 payment, it was such a good deal to have as a new driver! I think Vauxhall do something similar aswell! 😊
    Now I’ve been driving a few years and I’ve got my no claims built up, I have my dad as a named driver as he’s been driving 30+ years and he drives for work so that has also brought mind down slightly!
    Doing it early also brings it down slightly, I did mine 3 weeks in advance and saved myself about £25-£30 so worth looking!

    With your very last tip, be careful - the exact same car, but with different reg plates, can cost way more or way less. I see this a lot, with the worst I've seen being two identical Suzuki Swifts where the same company offered £992 for one but about £1800 for the other. I think they look into the history of that particular car and go off that

    @StacyOnWheels Год назад +4

    So is the black box kind of like the Otimo app, that tracks your drive and tells you how good your doing? If so that’s good.
    Also you need to declare any mods on your car, I have a ramp for my wheelchair and you need to tell them about those to, even down to stickers/decals can up your insurance!!!

    • @Caitlinw1
      @Caitlinw1 Год назад +1

      The one I had gave me a score based on every drive. It plugs into your car and tracks how harsh you accelerate, how harsh you break, speed. Mine monitored how fast you take corners too. Some have a curfew on where you can’t drive past a certain Time such as 10pm which can be annoying but can help reduce insurance further! The better your average score they usually reduce the insurance premium or some companies give you money back as an incentive to keep driving well ☺️

      Insurance is based on risk points so say the model of your car is common amongst younger drivers hence involved in many accidents that's one risk points then the engine size of your car is too high or the power output is high that's another risk point even the colour of your car can be a risk point if that particular colour is involved in many accidents
