Young drivers car insurance news

No MOT equals no cover
A leading price comparison website has reminded younger motorists that young driver's car insurance is invalid in the event that they forget to renew their MOT certificate.
The website sought to shatter the popular misconception that a young driver's car insurance will provide cover in the event a motorist fails, or forgets, to renew his or her MOT certificate.
A spokesperson for the motor insurance arm of the company warned, "Unless your garage is particularly helpful, you won't receive a reminder that your MOT is due.
"However, while there's no up-to-date MOT certificate, your car's insurance is not valid, so your insurer could refuse to pay out if you were involved in an incident.
"Driving without a valid MOT is illegal, unless you're driving the car to its test, or to receive repairs once it's failed."
And it seems there is no excuse, not even exams, not even work commitments and not even relationship pressures; young drivers car insurance must co-exist with a valid MOT certificate if it is to provide any sought of cover.
