Son & heir has been learner-driving for a year now and his premium - as a named driver on my policy - has mercifully come down quite a way[1]; but of course he wants to take his test[2] which (if he passes) will push it stratospheric again. I found our present insurance through one of the comparison websites but someone suggested there are insurers who specialise in younger, newer drivers, who it would be worth trying. I shall try my google-fu on the problem but if anyone has any pointers they'd be most welcome.For background it's me, 18yo sprog, and a 1.2 Corsa. I do actually drive the car (well actually SWMBO does these days - something else I need to sort out).[1] helped by me earning a year's NCD - even though I've got full discount on my van insurance stupid f*ckwit insurance industry seems to think that safely throwing a tonne of Transit around the roads every day does nothing to alleviate my risk behind the wheel of a Corsa :-([2] again: he failed it earlier this year, to my parental sympathy but profound financial relief!

Someone in The Outbuilding recently recommended this mob operate on a "spy in the cab" basis ...

young driver insurance specialists?

I don't know whether his force does one but I would have thought they could find somewhere a bit closer than about 200 miles away.

Right .. I assumed you meant the current UK landing systems which do not use GPS frequencies.

I rather think that they have a way to go with GPS to attain the same level of safety..

That they can be jammed by very low power devices shows just how weak the received signal level is ....

They are illegal and they should impound the drivers equipment (I hope that includes the truck). In fact I think its an act of terrorism so they should shoot first.
