how much is insurance on a GTI FOR 19 YR OLDS.

Unfortunately, the reason all of us pay so much for car insurance is that young lads can get their hands on powerful cars straight after passing their tests...naturally they want to show off and end up driving like idiots with lack of respect for other road users, usually resulting in accidents.

Under 21's should have a limit of 80bhp or something like that, this way youngsters can build up their NCD and gain experience behind the wheel before being able to drive faster cars.

Sorry that sounds really boring and anti-young people, but I continually see youngsters driving like absolute morons, and blatently can't handle the cars they drive. A young lad in a focus RS or something like that nearly caused a 4 car pile up by overtaking me and the car in front on a blind corner last week. Of course he thought it was hilarious!?

For all you responsible young drivers ignore the above rant!

PS: I'm only 30, but what a difference in attitude between people my age and those of typical 18-21 year olds.

There's some mileage in the thought though that we'd all drive better with instead of an airbag, stick a 12 inch spike there.
