Are you sure?

The situation as I was aware of it was the the insurance must cover the seized vehicle, otherwise the streets would be full of chavs who got their pikey mates who do have insurance to pick their saxos up from police storage, any of our resident coppers care to clarify?

How much are you looking to spend on the car? ie, a reasonable Ford Ka might be cheaper on insurance but cost more in the first place than another car. Try looking at old Metro's, Fiat Uno's, etc. They should be just as cheap on the insurance but might be less to buy,

Fairly sure they have to release it to any one with the owners written consent providing the car istaxed and mot'd etc. And don't just look at the low insurance group cars as they may be seen as a higher risk because they are involved in slot of accident hency why my mate gets insurance on his mg zr and I get mine on my 1.6 rover coupe for less than another lad we know pays for the insurance on his 1litre pug

There was an item on this subject on Moneybox yesterday on Radio4 (it might be on Iplayer). The average cost of a claim for a "young man" driver was £4k, for a young lady it was £2k, and girls were much less likely to have a claim anyway.

They recommended "pass plus" to reduce premiums by around 30%, some local authorities subsidise them apparently (I think it has to be within 12months of test). Put as high a voluntary excess as you possibly can, and DON'T CRASH!
