How much am I going to get stung for?

[Stev8s]

Daughter involved in an accident due to everyone being blinded by low afternoon sun traffic slowed she bumped into motorcyclist and another car ploughed into her fortunately everyone ok all 3 vehicles are probably a write off.
My question is that she has not been driving for quite a year yet and her insurance was £900 on an 05 plate Fiesta how much do you think this going to go up by on another Fiesta.

One million pounds!




Sorry to hear that mate, I have no idea but it ain't gonna be cheap is it?

[soad]

Probably will double? But i'm only speculating.

[grumpy]

Wow, driving in the afternoon sun, not her fault then.

[stropley]

For a good pair of sunnies? About £50 should do it

Be nice.

I don't think he implied it wasn't her fault. He just offered an explanation as to why the accident happened.

More I would say.
Sorry to hear that OP, she's going to have a tough decision over whether it's financially viable to have a car I reckon.

[chickenkebab]

Not always. I wrote off a car 3 months after my test (at 17) and insurance was only about 200 quid more iirc!

Well, for a bit of perspective, my mate just wrote off an 05 MINI Cooper, 11-days into ownership, 3 days into his policy (came with 7 days free). This at fault single vehicle accident is combined with 2yrs on a full license, 1st policy, no ncb, but looks like his is only going to rise by £200. Grand total of £1,042...

Wouldn't have thought it would double, but will be more expensive every year for 5 years so in cumulative valve very expensive.

Sorry OP...

Jesus, I read that as if it'd be going up each year rather an reducing slightly. Phew.

They've already priced her not being able to drive into the premium. The additional premium will simply be statistical (i.e. being more likely to have a second prang in the next year or so)

[Happy82]

Is she responsible for the car driving into her as well? Or just the motorcycle she hit?
