Young Drivers Car Insurance Gets Expensive
Written by Kathryn Lang

Getting a car for a newly licensed driver can sometimes be less expensive than paying for young drivers car insurance. Because of the high risk that many of these inexperienced drivers pose on the road, insurance companies expect to pay out benefits at a higher rate. This has pushed the premiums to unimaginable heights.

It is particularly costly to get young drivers car insurance for teenage boys. It has been proven repeatedly that these are the drivers most likely to speed, get caught racing, or generally driving in unacceptable ways. For generations, the industry has been looking for responsible ways to curb the dangerous driving habits of young male drivers.


Officials in Scotland may have finally stumbled on a method to help control the driving habits of the inexperienced males, while at the same time increasing their driving skills. They are giving them exactly what they want and teaching them how to do it.


A new program is being set up that will allow young drivers to go as fast as they want to - in a controlled setting. The Scottish police have teamed up with track officials and are offering free laps at the Knockhill racing circuit in a bid to curb speeding along the nearby Kirkcaldy Esplanade. They are hoping that it will teach young drivers that speeding is okay in the right situation, but it's not safe to do on the public roads.


Although the new program will not do anything to lower the initial cost of young drivers car insurance, it could help to lower the cost in the following years. If the new drivers are able to keep points off their records and keep themselves accident free, then the premiums will eventually begin to fall. In the mean time, the speeding experiment should prove to be loads of fun.
