Young drivers could win car insurance with The Co-op
The Co-op has launched a competition to allow some young drivers to win car insurance free for one year.
This move comes in response to the number of motorists who have passed their driving test but cannot afford the costs of running a vehicle themselves.
Grant Mitchell, head of motor insurance at The Co-operative Insurance, said: "Passing your test is always a memorable occasion but getting on the road for the first time comes with lots of responsibility and cost."
Research showed that the expense of getting on the road typically totals £4,459.
Entrants can apply for the year's worth of free car insurance by writing or sending a video in about what passing their driving test meant to them or how they intend to celebrate when they pass.
Drivers who do manage to buy a car and insure it have been reminded of the dangers of operating vehicles.
Director of motor underwriting at Direct Line Andy Goldby said the government's new maximum jail sentences for causing serious injury on the road is a "step in the right direction" in helping reduce the number of incidents that occur every year.
