Car insurance for young drivers

[Dead Eye]

I think I managed to get through on the skin of my teeth. I got my licence when I was 18 and was bought a £700 Peugeot 106 (1.5 Diesel) but I had to insure it - cost me £1600~ (this was in December 2008)

I could just about afford to do it as I had been working for a bit and had saved up some money. Pretty sure that is now impossible to do for todays 18 yr olds
