Your doing it wrong.

I'm 21 and can insure a VTS for a lot less than your VTR.

Should have gone on your own insurance to start with.

Your dad is letting you use his NCB?
Does he not have a car then?

He is fucking brave.......

If you had gone on your own insurance to start with you would have 2 years NCB by now.

You're a learner.

Wait and see what happens when you have a full license.
