Parents 'illegally' insuring their children

Many parents insure a youngster's car in their name and then add their offspring as a second named driver – it is a practice known as "fronting" and it is illegal.

According to Moneysupermarket.com, more than half of drivers (55pc) do not realise that fronting is illegal. A car insurance expert at the comparison website, said: "It is deeply worrying how many people are taking the risk by 'fronting' on car insurance, especially as this practice is illegal and will be classified as fraud by an insurer."

The short-term attraction of saving money is far outweighed by the serious repercussions if the parents, or the young driver, are caught fronting because their insurance will be invalidated and a younger driver may end up in court being charged with driving without insurance.

How to cut the cost of your insurance

For a start, it is in the interests of your children to be the main driver on a policy (as painful as that can be) because that is the only way they will build up an insurance history which will help cut premiums in the long run.

Premiums may be reduced by opting for a higher excess.

Don't assume third-party cover is always cheapest as while that once was the case, comprehensive policies will often be more affordable. Third party can sometimes be more expensive because the insurer might assume that you care less about your car and that you are therefore more likely to have an accident.

Completing a Pass Plus course can reduce premiums.

One or two insurers use black-box technology to monitor young drivers but the jury is still out on whether it works.
