Congratulations, my 17 year old has recently passed his test and I know how stressful it is. Good Luck with the insurance, Sons paid £1350 and reckoned we'd got a good deal cos he's got a black box and is getting 9's and 10's regularly on his score.
Scoring is complicated. You can get up to 14 minors and still pass but if any of those minors are the same type of fault ie pulling away, they turn into a makor and you can fail. My son failed first time with only 7 minors but three were minor fails passing parked cars ( he went too close) so he failed.
I don’t have a garage, but my house is off road but it lives between 2 sheds.
Mines is about £840 AL but I’d be sharing the car with dad and wasn’t keen on a Black Box. I’d heard a few horror stories. But I agree it’s stressful. But well done to your son too!
Haha Ken love it - you can get 15 but I think now if you repeatedly make the same minor fault up to 5 times it becomes a serious and a fail. Nearly hit 2 bleeding Pheasants- they have to be more thick than a Pigeon!
