Sir, - Young males are making a lot of noise about quotations for private motor insurance cover. It is accepted that the claims history of young males is unacceptably high, as is their accident mortality rate.
Perhaps a compromise is possible. My suggestion is a quotation for restricted insurance cover:
The vehicle in use only between 8 am and 10 p.m. Monday to Saturday.
The vehicle must be no more than 1000 c.c. engine capacity.

The vehicle must be at least three years old.
There must never be more than two people in the vehicle.
There would be a maximum speed restriction of 40 mph with a sign to this effect on the back of the vehicle. - Yours, etc.
