Making it Safer for You
Did you know that 1 in 4 fatal accidents involved 17 to 25 year old young drivers!
It’s a known fact that young drivers pay a lot more for their car insurance than any other age group. This may seem unfair if you are the young driver, but when you look at some of the facts below you may understand why young drivers are considered a higher risk.
According to the Department of Transport’s latest statistics:
- Young drivers aged 17-25 represent the largest proportion of the above statistics. Of all deaths recorded as a result of a road traffic accident between 1999 and 2008, 26.29% were aged 17 to 25 years old. That’s a sobering 1 in 4.
- Of the fatal accidents which involved 17 to 25 year olds, 38.88% happened between 11pm and 5am. That equates to more than 1 in 3 accidents!
- Between 00:01 and 01:00 is statistically the most dangerous hour to be driving your vehicle as a new young driver. 8.7% of all fatalities which involved 17 to 25 year olds happened in this hour.
- Males are three times more likely to be involved in a fatal accident than females. This could suggest that males have greater exposure due to mileage covered but other research shows that, even per mile travelled; males are twice as likely to be involved in crashes as females.
i-kube has the solution by incentivising young drivers for not driving between the hours which they are statistically more at risk.
- i-kube young driver’s car insurance is specifically designed with young drivers in mind.
- We discount our screen price by up to 40% - so we find you our best deal then take up to a further 40% off that price.
- You will get fully comprehensive insurance – at typically a cheaper price than most insurers could offer third party fire and theft.
- You can start earning your own No Claim Bonus / No Claim Discount – which in turn will continue to save you more money year on year (assuming you are not involved in a fault accident).
- All i-kube ask in return is that the insured car is not driven between the hours of 11pm and 5am.
It makes perfect sense. Don’t think of it as a curfew, we’re not saying you should go to bed. We’re only asking you to put your car to bed.
