Oh yeah, I loved paying more than the purchase price of the car per year as a young driver. I have since crashed 0 cars, I am yet to kill anyone. In fact, the car mechanically totaled itself before I got to finish my years worth of insurance. On which I never got a refund on.

The pay-as-you-drive model might paint a picture of a more equal playing field, where everyone pays what they are due, but I think it is mostly a sham to squeeze more money out of people.



You'd be far better off with better discrimination than them just looking at age.


...I don't think insurance companies need to track you to realize that you're a young driver.
