Subject: Insurance for inexperienced drivers
I totally agree with regular schmo about her views on inexperienced drivers. I believe in children working and paying for part of their own insurance.
My daughter started working in tobacco when she was 13, and saved money for her car insurance from the time she started working. By the time she got her drivers license, she had quite a lot of money saved.
She continued working during the whole time that she went to high school and college. She learned responsibility and the rewards of hard work. Today, she works full time, is raising four children, and is teaching them the same work ethic that she developed.
The insurance companies are in the business to make money. They take more risks by insuring inexperienced drivers, so they charge more. You just suck it up and pay for being inexperienced.
