Passed my driving test.

Hello everyone, just wanted to ask a few questions, I recently just passed my test , yesterday in fact, I am 25 just turned in august, I was getting quotes of £140-£160 per month and about £1400 a year for certain cars , now I have passed my test my insurance has gone up to near £4000 a year! I don't know why , ive added a named driver onto the insurance it's made it go higher! My friend did the same and hers went dramatically lower and she's younger than me. I know postcode has a big part to play too but surly I wouldn't of had such low prices before turning 25 and passing my test if so?

Before you pass your test, you are supervised at all times.

When people pass their test, then then go out alone. Many go out, over confident in their abilities. Statistically insurance goes up hugely when you first pass.
£4k is massive, but £1800 a year for learner insurance seems huge too, so presumably it must be a combination of the car you are driving (what insurance group is it ?) and your postcode.
Other things will come into it (your job, the details of the other driver, where you park, etc) but mainly it will be address and the car.

All that said, it is ALWAYS worth spending a few hours on comparison sites to get better quotes.
