Can't wait for my bday One of the main reasons I don't have a vehicle yet.

I believe if you are a student and have good grades, rates drop a bit too.. at least that happened in high school. Not sure if the same policy is around now

of course it does.. I had a clean record when I was 25 and only paid 75/month (also was on my parents policy)... now I am on my own policy and have one speeding and one failing to show up to date insurance papers..

I pay 140/month now..

don't think so
anyone under 25 in ontario is considered an "unsafe driver" regardless of your driving record or grades lol

google it..

says 10% so you're right but the premiums for under 25 are still ridiculous, many students would not be able to afford on their own anyways.

i'm with bel air right now and i must say the rate i'm getting is awesome.

Spambots aside - can anyone recommend a driving school in Toronto? Similar boat as Highroller. I'm mostly wanting to reduce the wait time from 12 months to 8 months - finally got off my ass and got my beginners again a few weeks ago, and if I can cut the wait down to 8 months I'll be able to drive by myself next summer, which would make me very happy.

Yup, I let my g1 expire as well. I was just waiting to take a course, but now I'm rethinking it, since I've heard otherwise in this thread.

So the definitive answer is..10%?????

I was thinking of going with the CAA course. I had a fellow coworker do it, and she was in her 40's. She said it was pretty reasonable to follow, and liked the quality of instruction.


Is there a big insurance savings difference between the Happy Luck Driving school that Chinamon's uncle operates, or a reputable one like Young Drivers/CAA?

I talked with my insurance guy about this a few months ago. I didn't even start driving until 30 (that's what living in TO will do). It doesn't matter if you get your instruction done by ABC Driving School or Young Drivers, the rate reduction is still 10%. If you're over 25, driving instruction will have ZERO impact on premiums. You're already getting an age discount. I decided against a full slate of driving lessons and had my wife teach me, while getting a couple of lessons to fill in knowledge gaps. Worked like a champ.

Thanks for the very clear answer!

I'm just going to set up in a parking lot and learn.

You provide car, I provide lessons.

Top driver technique.

I had the same thing, license expired but just before that took the G2 exit test, failed (no surprise there)and had to start over. Didn't take driving school or lessons again, just drove like crazy, passed and voila, proper G license.

As for insurance, I've heard the age thing is really it as well. Driving school detail isn't a huge deal if you're over 25.
