The answer to this question really depends on you - a young male driver. As they say as far as the eyes can see, this purely is as far as you can look around and do your homework. Luckily enough, the answer is not completely negative so thats an encouraging start.
Why is that young male drivers are treated so differently in this game? Or why are young male drivers subject to such high insurance rates, in some cases nearly 60% of the cost of the car? Definitely these rates are not fixed by the government, but by the behavior pattern displayed by this age.
People believe and research shows that this group of drivers is highly involved in accidents and violation of rules compared to other experienced drivers or even a female driver. Majority of people killed or injured on our roads are young male drivers and so an exorbitant insurance premium. While it clearly shows that you should not drive without insurance for your own security, this infact can also be worked to earn you some discounts on your rates.
Be a smart one, shop around, get as many quotes as possible. Even better if you can do this before you choose your car as rates for a regular sedan is usually less than a sports car. Getting online and receiving your quotes will take minutes, costs nothing and you end up saving.
You can cut the cost on your premiums if you drive sensibly free of any parking tickets. Drive carefully and you earn a No-claims discount on your premium. Remember just an accident can double or triple your premium, its in your hands. You steer the car and control your rates.
Well there is always on option to just add on to your parents insurance. Its the make and model of the car that decides the premium, not the color. So you can still enjoy your early driving years. But by just following road rules, you can save heaps. It does pay to be good!
Shop around, get plenty of quotes, compare the quotes, drive carefully and save money. Its not a long road before you turn 25 and the rates will surely drop then.
