KA is cheap, but check the different models as some are higher groups than others.
Adding parents as 2nd drivers can reduce the policy, maybe speak to the insurance companies and see if others things can be done, limited mileage, pas plus, not driving between 1am and 6am etc, pakred off road, alarmed, higher excess.
Could all help it creap down but bet it will be costsly.
Chances are they are going to spoon their first car, so maybe a cheaper motor to offset the insurance costs and a few reminders of how easy it is to end up in a prang when driving like a tit, and the implications of it with regards to not being able to afford insurance after, may slow them down a bit....but i doubt it lol!
