As some of you may know, I’m 16 but 17 in less than a month. Im gettin drivin lessons as soon as I can and coz I’ve started buildin this sound system I thought it would probably be a good idea to get a van.
Were just wonderin are vans another class of vehicle so do you need another licence for em and if so, is there an age limit on gettin one?
Another thing, I know insurance for young folks is rediculously expensive so how much approx. do people reckon it would be per year? (Bearing in mind the van I would get would be a rete old run down one) I know for a crap little car its about 2-3 grand and I’m assumin it will be higher for a van as theyr bigger and harder to drive.
Cheers

up to 3.5 ton your alowed to drive on a car licence, thats like transit van size.
you wont get insured on one full stop at 17 or very very unlikely.

Yeh I were thinkin that last night. I’ll just have to see what happens. Even if they do give me a quote it would be rete expensive tho but I’ll just have to hope I’ve got a decent job by then if they do insure me :yakk:.

17, under 3500kg and less than 8 seats, and 1 driver seat.
You can get a 12 seater, say, and strip 3 seats, then re-register with the DVLA though.

just try a 1995 transit swb or some other medium sized van as a rough guide.June 11, 2008 at 2:31 pm #1174156Just tried it on comparethemarket.com and Mr AHC was right. nowhere would even give me a quote. I did it based on me being 17, nearly 18 now with a 1995 transit and having just got my licence which is what the circumstances are gunna be when I actually get my licence. Looks like I’m gunna have some transport troubles when my rigs up and runnin then!:head_bang

Yeh I’m sure I wont have too much trouble finding someone I know who would do it.

June 11, 2008 at 5:34 pm #1174152What about a stripped minibus? Does that maybe give you different results?

June 11, 2008 at 9:46 pm #1174149get a suziki carry dont look much but cheap as you like to insure and they can carry alot of stuff surpisngly more than ud think there troopers i tell you

Not too bad to say I’d only be 17.
Rather get a Luton body van though coz theyr a bit bigger. Got a quote for one of them as well and the price still wasnt that bad. I dunno I’ll just have to wait till I can actually drive to sort it all out properly:bounce_fl
June 11, 2008 at 10:46 pm #1174161Oh yeh, also, what does my display pic thing look like to everyone else coz I changed it but its just the same as it was before even though in the little window thing where you can change it it says its the new one. If you know what I mean!
It should be a lion but its showing me the old one which was the black and white Dope Dragon logo.
(Edit) Never mind, I’ve sorted it now.
