Insurance firms give young drivers
modified car warning
Boy racers across the UK are being warned about the dangers of modifying their cars and not properly notifying their young driver car insurance provider.
With the huge success of telly programmes such as MTV's famous Xzibit-presented show, more and more motorists in their teens and early twenties are splashing the cash and blinging-up their cars.
Novas with massive spoilers, Escorts with enormous exhausts and Golfs with huge rims are becoming ever more popular on Britain's roads, but a large number of owners haven't told their motor insurance firm about the expensive additions they've made to their cars.
As a result, if their cars become damaged in an accident or stolen, they're only going to receive a payout for the £500 heap that the car really is, and not for the extra £2000 worth of bodywork and engine modifications that have been made.
Such is the power of specialist online young driver car insurance firms nowadays, that it needn't cost a packet to insure even the most modded of vehicles.
Mike Page from Hoot Car Insurance Services said, "There's thousands of people out there who spend a lot of time and money doing-up their car, so to then drive it around without being properly covered with motor insurance is madness."
