What really gets expensive is when parents don't tell, or deny they have a minor driving. If the insco has that on tape, and there is Bodily Injury or he has an accident as an Uninsured Motorist, his financial life is over.

That is playing with fire.

Good Heavens. You or your wife must be terrible drivers (accidents, tickets & claims). Or, you drive expensive vehicles. Those rates are usually reserved for NYC and bad NJ neighborhoods.

Some families can’t afford to let their teens drive

Justin Stoltzfus

Here’s a troubling statistic for teens who are eagerly awaiting their 16th birthdays: A recent poll from Nationwide Insurance found that many young people are waiting longer to get their driver’s licenses.

The poll, conducted by Harris Interactive, sampled nearly 1,500 Texas teens and their parents between December 2010 and January 2011.

In many cases, parents pay more than half of a teen’s car-related costs during the first years of the young driver’s experience, but that may be changing as families struggle to deal with loss of income, unemployment, loss of home equity and higher costs for basic necessities. The Nationwide/Harris poll reports the average family pays a staggering $4,000 to let a teen drive.

If you guys don't think adding 16 yr old to a policy will raise it $300 a month,you're crazy..

One teenage driver, a girl at that with the good student discount, and I pay four grand a year in insurance. That doesn't count the totally separate policy for the two antique vehicles.

What kind of antique cars do you have?
Mathen

A 71 Chevelle and an old f-150 that is old enough for antique plates, which in Virginia means no inspections. Since I only use it to go to Home Depot and the dump, it's the most cost effective way to have it registered and insured.
