Zurich warns young drivers against car insurance fronting

Young drivers who are the main user of their cars should not try to cut car insurance costs by going on their parents' policy, Zurich has said.
Spokesperson Keith Lewis told the Independent that students and their parents often unwittingly commit an offence called "fronting".
This is when one person is the main user of a car that is insured under a policy in someone else's name.
According to the article, young drivers often become named drivers on their parents' cover because it is much cheaper than buying a new policy for themselves - as much as ten per cent of the cost.
But if the young driver is really the main user of the car, it is technically fraud.
Mr Lewis said that while people often presume it is legal, it is not.
He warned that claims could be refused and both the young person and their parents could be charged with insurance fraud.
Last month, the AA reported that Britain is heading to a trend of car sharing thanks to the high cost of petrol.
Almost half of people are considering it although only 11 per cent already do it more than once a week.
