does every parent pay a 19 year olds car insurance? Bought dss a car, when we gave it to him, immaculate condition btw, said the review mirror needs a clean. We said you will need to help pay towards insurance ( not whole amount) which he wasn’t so keen on doing. He has a part time job, plus around 3k in savings. Starting uni in sept. Has a student loan. We still have dds 2 at home, plus our daughter 11. Are we unreasonable to expect him to pay a contribution towards his insurance? He thinks we are.
