Re: Insurance - Had Enough
Restricting teens from driving at night pretty well prevents them from getting that job some of you are so eager to have them get.
[Rant] As for the phones, if you don't provide smart phones for them and teach them that the phone is a phone, not a toy (and abide by the same rule yourself), you'll have less trouble with them. Our sons have ancient phones--no data, texting disabled. If a phone rings when we are driving, someone else in the vehicle answers it or it doesn't get answered. No parent has a right to claim his or her teen isn't responsible enough. If so, it ain't society's fault: it's the parents'. [/Rant]

Re: Insurance - Had Enough
These kids Uber eveywhere on the weekends now. I know, I get the Uber bills, and I'm happy to pay them! Driving after one sip of alcohol is forbidden if you have possession of one of my vehicles, I don't care if your 21 years old or 50 years old.<- (that a big PERIOD)
But no driving after dark... that pretty much puts them afoot in the winter. It's dark when they leave for school, and dark by 5:00 pm. Draconian!

Re: Insurance - Had Enough
Quick follow up on those teenage driver rules...at least 'up in these parts'
I had the order wrong on that...you start with the 'L' (learner) sticker on the back of the car (1 yr) then move to the 'N' (sticker too). The restrictions for the initial 16 year old include: You have to drive with an adult supervisor (25 yrs) +, no more than 1 additional passenger, and I had the no night driving rule incorrect...it actually is no driving between midnight and 5 am. As well...absolutely NO electronic devices (cell phones, etc) and absolute zero tolerance for alcohol. After a year you get your 'L' (...now 17 yrs old)...they lighten up a bit (no night/morning restrictions) but still no electronic devices. That said, as far as insurance rates are concerned for teens, you might be able to get a cost break if you put your kid through a quality, accredited teen driving school. I've seen this relate to insurance rates being reduced in the past....its a great investment and it makes perfect sense. all Good Coley

Re: Insurance - Had Enough
This is what my grandad told me "you wantto drive" Yes "get a job then, I can't afford to pay everyones insurance" so I got me a job pumping gas and checking their oil as I finished up with a windshield wash. Yes, that's what was called a service station I rode my bike to work until I had saved enough money to buy my first car for 125.00, a 1974 Gremlin X with a 304 v8, got my own insurance policy and been driving since.
When our son was old enough to get his permit guess what ? Yep you guessed it, get a job if you want to drive and buy a car and an insurance policy. So he did, he worked saved enough money to buy a 1998 Malibu that this elderly fellow had in his garage for 500.00 and got him an insurance policy. It is called growing up with responsibility.

Increasingly fewer teens work jobs (unless its for family) while in high school. Their funding and costs are now regarded as part of the parents responsibilities or at least have been taken on as such and this includes phones, etc...pretty much all costs. This can be a tricky conversation to have with people currently dealing with this new generation of kids and teens.... (Just be glad someone didn't bring up the 'S-trip'...lol) Regardless...back to the insurance bit...put the kids through driver training...its good for them and you should get a break on the insurance. All good Coley

Re: Insurance - Had Enough
I've never understood why insurance doesn't insure the driver, not the vehicle. Everybody should have a basic liability insurance card that allows then to drive any vehicle, then if you want collision or theft or whatever, that would be on the vehicle.
Just a way to fleece people who own more than one car... |
