Helping your ambitions hit target


A new study by insurance company AXA has found that young people in Britain are more ambitious than young people from any other nation in Europe.

At first this seems like a good news story, until you read further down the study and find that although they are more ambitious they also have the least faith that they will attain their ambitions.

I understand this, ambition can be crippling – it’s one thing to have the ambitious ideal but it’s altogether another thing to have the self-confidence to test the reality of that ambitious ideal.


Every day in Britain, a young driver is faced with an example of this paradox. Yes, we want to take to the roads and yes, we want to get the cheap car insurance that makes it possible, but when we look for an affordable quote, we often find that none appears to exist. So faced with the choice of paying £30,000 to insure a one-litre Nissan Micra or not driving at all, we sigh with weary resignation and give up.

As much as it pains me to say, in this respect, just like with football, we could learn from the Germans and the Spanish – they are more likely to redouble their efforts and “try harder” when faced with such obstacles.

But then again, if you’re reading this then chances are that you’ve either got lucky early on and found Hoot – or you’ve already taken a leaf from the German and Spanish way and worked hard to find us, a young driver car insurance quote specialist.

So don’t give up, let us compare the market for you so that we can find you the really cheap young driver insurance that helps you reach your ambitions.

As Bill Bradley, the great American basketball player and former democratic presidential candidate, said, “Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.”
