a young lad recieved a greenP dui small. so now no one will give him insurance
or do you know any company that will reinsure for this lad. ? 
Parent should list him and a second driver. This may cause problems with finance company
Correct me if I'm wrong, but P platers have a zero alcohol limit behind the wheel?
There are places that will insure anyone for a price
If he finds it hard or expensive I am sure he will have learned something.... and hopefully all his mates do also from his experience
Insurance is a scam...
Take responsibility for your own actions
And phuck insurance...
I hit an old ladies car when trying to park once, I left her a note, which she came across as I was leaving it, bill came to 1200 bucks, she was so happy we are still good friends...
Insurance was near a grand a year with two grand excess...
Bought a new car, first ever, finance insisted I insure, kids broke into car first day of school holidays, excess, two grand and wont cover missing kite or sunnies or phone, repairs were four hundred bucks,
phuck insurance
^^^^^Marks right. Even if its not your fault you will still need to prove it.
If a fully insured person crashes into you, Its totally their fault and you are not insured you stand alone against their lawyers. You lose. Seen it happen.
People don't seem to realise their premiums give them access to legal assistance.
Agree with the above. I work in insurance as a broker and have had a young bloke that maxed himself out on the car purchase and then bought a new house shortly after as his wife was pregnant and they were settling down. Things were going well for them. On the way home from work on night a roo jumped onto the road, he swerved and hit a power transformer. $250k and a month later he was speaking to his lawyer about filing for bankruptcy. Ruined all his hard work in life so far. Guess the roo wouldn't accept liability.
From a commercial standing it is even more important to be correctly insured. I had a trucking client who damaged an ore railway, fortunately it was able to be fixed in time so the loss was only about $400k. The mining company were preparing estimates for loss of earnings well into the millions. Insurance is a big, boring waste of money... Until you need it.
^^^^^^Oii Mark. Is that the Doctor doing your prostate check?
Better bring a bunch of flowers and brace yourself if it is.
So let me get this right.... a young lad chose to have a bit to much to drink, this young lad then chose to drive......His choice entirely....nobody else's.
Well then he has chosen to pay a VERY high $$$$ price for his actions, he can get insurance but it will cost him a motza, bad luck.... Lets hope he tells his story to any other people of similar age and if stops just one person not to drink and drive then its worth it.
And if any other people knew what he was doing they are also to blame for his actions.
If you don't think I'm sympathetic ....bad luck. Many years ago another lad did the same thing after a footy match he played in and drove through a STOP sign and killed mate of mine and his Dad. They didn't choose to get killed did they?
Get real 'Drinking and Driving' in this country is a major problem and there needs an attitude change in Australia.
everyone is now playing the man. The question is which company will insure drivers who have had an infringment recorded against them ? It goes without saying that he were a fool, but then most of us are only better citizens in retrospect, we all have ghosts of the past and if we had more sence at the time of youth we may have decided to take a less youth based action.
Not sure about insurance, but;
it reminds of the time a few months back...
3 lanes, driving from Melbourne to Geelong, roughly 6:30pm. Everyone is on cruise control. Inside lane sets at 97 doing 92, middle lane does about 98 real speed, and outside lane is doing 103.
P platers goes past at 100-103, cop goes past at 103, pulls over the P Plater for doing stuff all... Maybe there was a bad lane change I missed... They weren't doing a speed worth copping a fine, and they weren't blocking the right hand lane any differently to the previous 20 cars...
Then again, I don't even know what P Platers can and can't do anymore! Too many rules.
^^^
(in WA) P-platers can do the speed limit - so 110km on the highway (100 on the FWY).
There are some restrictions around passenger numbers and midnight curfew in the first 6 months (red P-plates).
Alcohol limit is 0.0% for the whole 2yr duration of P's...
