    New driver insurance

    I found doing on line if you put the start date for new drivers for 3 weeks time that was lower. Always keep clearing your browser history and cache cos the buggers quote accordingly !!! Be careful if you put a black box in and you drive the car, no slamming brakes on just before the 30 mph...
