Car insurance...

This is a follow up on a previous post of mine about driving tests.
Lets say you manage to get your licence, there's still a massive obstacle in your way before being able to drive. Car ( auto) insurance costs so much these days, especially for younger drivers (and males have it worse again). How are people expected to get good at driving if they can't practice it because they cant afford the massive cost to drive a car when they get their licence, yes you should be able to drove perfectly after your test but as we all know this is not true.
Even if you are driving a small 1 litre engine car, and are on your parents insurance it will still cost 3000 minimum!

At this rate between the new tests and the auto insurance (and taxes too)  i dont see how people can afford to start driving until they have a full time job after college.


I'd like to know is auto insurance in other countries as dear?
like America, Australia Germany etc.
and also does it differ much between each state?

  1. I need to agree... insurance are REALLY expensive and you have probably no chance of driving before finishing college and getting full time job if you don't have rich parents.

  2. I despise that I have to pay so much more to drive than my younger, reckless sister, even though I am 22 and don't have so much as a speeding ticket.

  4. I had that problem when I first started driving, but it does eventually go down. It's nuts, to be fair.

  6. it is expensive! I have a brand new car, and being a male under 25, my insurance is through the roof- it is literally more than the car payment on my 2009 Honda Civic! I pay nearly $350 a month, which is roughly $4,200 a year. My car loan is only $322 a month!!
