And how much would it cost to repair the damage you could cause to a 3rd party with your £600 car? That's the answer as to why premium's are so high.

Considered that it may be far more cost effective to go TPFT?

As usual Top Gear set out with a vague nod towards journalism and headed into (entertaining) farce. Concluding that a beige Volvo estate was the best thing for a young driver to get was gloriously mad. Gluing James' stereo was hillarious and Hamster's face when he told one insurance company on the phone he'd had no accidents in the last five years had me wetting myself with laughter.

I don't have a Ka for sale but have you looked at places like Trade Sales in Slough or Motorpoint? They tend to sell ex-rental cars and they can go for a song. The tatty ones will have had a very hard life but if it gets you the NCB you clearly need you can get something nicer when the premiums get more sensible in a year or two.

i have a few cars now that im going to check out but i cant afford all dude to the insurance you can see why people drive without insurance it cost you about £105 to get you car back from impound then £60 fine and any other fines it would cost you less than £250 to get your car back

No it wouldn't, you'd have to pay for insurance and produce the certificate in order to reclaim your car...

No you wouldn't write a letter explaining that some one else that's tp on other peoples car is picking it up like a parent or a friend and they can get it out of the impoun lot

You must live in a really rough area then to not be able to get any quotes less than that. I trust you have used all the usual comparison websites?
