This story came through on the newsfeeds<\/a>. It mentions a new insurance scheme called Red Marmalade (nee Provisional Marmalade<\/a>), which is taken as an add-on to any existing insurance.<\/p>\n

It is a pay-as-you-go system, so learners can use it to get private practice in between lessons. I also suspect it will get a few people hot under the collar, since the \u201cRed\u201d part of the name is\u2026 yes, Red Driving School.<\/p>\n

In the example given, a typical 17-year old learning in a Nissan Micra could add the equivalent of \u00a3500 plus per month to the parent\u2019s insurance (in my experience it is nowhere near as much as this), whereas this separate policy just costs just \u00a385.50.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d still advise shopping around – when I was training to be an instructor (it was a long time ago, I have to admit) my own insurance was costing me about \u00a325 a month. Adding a 17-year old female to the policy took it up to \u00a380 a month. It\u2019s quite possible that this kind of mark-up is still obtainable – not everyone lives in Kensington and uses the most expensive insurer on the planet, as many \u201ctypical\u201d examples seem to suggest.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the so-called \u201caverage\u201d premiums being touted by the national press are massively greater than any<\/strong> my pupils get quoted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
