suzuki91 Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 well my daughter has passed her test today, is it worth asking the insurence for her to be put on as she's only 17? or is that too young for a galaxy? also i am right to think she can remove the L plates from her moped? Quote

anadin Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 most new cars come with 1yrs free insurance , thats got to be worth Quote
suzuki91 Posted October 5, 2006 Author Report Posted October 5, 2006 she has got a fiesta to drive for now. so i'll give the galaxy insurence a miss!!! Quote
Guest HairyPlateEater Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 NO she can't ride her moped without L plates..... "Moped Licence RequirementsMopeds are up to 50cc with a maximum speed of 50 km/h. To ride a moped, learners MUST be 16 or over have a provisional moped licence complete CBT training. You MUST first pass the theory test for motorcycles and then the moped practical test to obtain your full moped licence. If you passed your driving test before 1 February 2001 you are qualified to ride a moped without L plates (and/or D plates in Wales), although it is recommended that you complete CBT before riding on the road. If you passed your driving test after this date you MUST complete CBT before riding a moped on the road.Laws MV(DL)R reg 43" Taken from Highway Code website Quote
anadin Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 correct h , i was assuming she had riden this from 16 and had already passed the cbt Quote
Guest MATT jr Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 tut you beat me too it. as said - you cant remove the L plates from her moped, unless shes passed the moped tests (theory) - if you study her photo licence carefully, along with a little licence leaflet - this is clearly stated. as with the galaxys insurance...i have done pass plus, and i am now 18 (but i have been insured since i was 17) on the galaxy - it cost roughly Quote
adrianf. Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 I knew insurance was expensive for young uns but never that bad. :D I passed my test in 1986 and had a Vauxhall Viva (they dont make em like that anymore) :D and i think i paid about Quote

suzuki91 Posted October 5, 2006 Author Report Posted October 5, 2006 she has passed the cbt, ridden the moped since she was 16. so she still has to pass another test then? in that case she wont bother. i have triplets so the two boys need to catch her up now. i paid Quote
Guest HairyPlateEater Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 she has passed the cbt, ridden the moped since she was 16. so she still has to pass another test then? Yep.... She should have had her CBT before riding it on the road with L Plates, then to remove L Plates she needs to pass her Motorcycle theory test and then her Moped practical. Bummer :lol: Quote

They would stand less of a chance of living if involved in an accident because they didnt have the correct road training! Quote

Bigjeeze Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 It's always cheaper on the Internet because they don't have to pay a call centre worker to talk to you. Most insurance companies discount Internet sales. Basically you need to find a car under 1000cc's to get any chance of a reasonable insurance cost. As for "mickey mouse" companies - you watch them if you need to claim - all of a sudden they turn distinctly mousey! (in fact Ratty) Quote
Guest gooner52 Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 91 well done to your daughter passing her test m8 ;) Quote
Guest MATT Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 Yeah, well done! I would get her insured on the galaxy if you think she needs to be, after all, its still 4 wheels and a board. MATT Quote
