Letting the girly drive
Letting a new-to-the-road drive a Scirocco
It is by far the worst car I have driven when it comes to view out the windows
You cant see where the hood stops, its unusually wide for its size and the rear view is a joke.
But boy do I love the driving

Trix, if the time comes and you really loved them enough, you'd trust them... right?

Oh, youvebinaced, have you tried putting your parents on your insurance as named drivers? I reduced my premium by about £100 (from £600)

Re: Girlfriend driving the Scirocco !!
When I asked the insurance company they said it was reduced due to a perceived reduction in risk. The £20 is the fee to add the driver. Apparently having two people on the policy, especially a female, suggests that you will value the car more. If you crash it effects the other driver also so the thinking is more drivers = more care. Thats what they said anyway. I was not complaining!
She is still improving every time I have her out. Now she does not have an instructor doing the thinking for her she can plan her driving herself. As long as she does not plan a dent or a scratch I am happy.

I am afraid I beat her to that ! After only 2000 miles as well. I was gutted. Still to get it fixed.
