Young drivers spend an average of £2,455 on car insurance, according to recent research conducted by gocompare.com.
However, car insurance broker Flux says there's absolutely no need for them to be spending that much. Gerry Bucke, operations director at Adrian Flux Insurance Services commented: "It's just crazy for youngsters (or their parents) to be spending that sort of cash on insurance . All it takes is a bit of common sense to cut the figure in half."
Flux is a specialist car insurance provider based in the UK. It has championed safer driving for young adults by offering big discounts for those taking their Pass Plus or a similar advanced skills course. Mr Bucke added: "Choosing the right car is essential. This is absolutely rule number one and it's where lots of mistakes are made, small and low-powered is the key, ideally the motor should be no bigger than 1,000cc. Avoid larger motors and treat anything with the letters ' GTI ' on the back as if it had the plague."
