Young British motorists should watch out this summer as they are in danger of putting their cheap young driver car insurance rates at risk.
Privilege car insurance have conducted a study that found British drivers often forget to revert back to UK speed restrictions when they return home after driving abroad where the speed limits are less rigid.
Young drivers should be especially careful as it is expected that hundreds will speed there way to Germany to watch the World Cup over the summer and many others will take to the European roads in search of a bit of sun.
It seems that those that have less than four years no claims bonus on their motor insurance are more likely to ignore speed restrictions when they return home. Statistics also show that young drivers are more likely to speed up when driving with one or more young male passengers.
This suggests that young drivers are much more likely to put their foot down when they return to British roads and as they will have less control over their vehicle have more chance of being involved in a car accident.
In turn, this will mean that they will see a substantial rise in their young driver car insurance rates as the will be regarded as high risk by their motor insurance provider.
