You do have a choice, there are plenty of washing up jobs / supermarket jobs im sure. I was working from the age of 14 so trust me you can get a grubby job ;)

round here they get snapped up to quickly or they claim you have to be 18 for health and safety/legal reasons (which i know is bs because my ma does recruitment for bt)

can i ask,with all these mods 'planned'
have you considered the impact on insurance?

i know it will boost my insurance but not sure how much.

plus how many of these things do you actually have to tell them?
 
Being so young, it will boost your insurance ALOT.

You should check out some quotes on confused.com just to get a little idea...

And you have to tell them all the mods, especially being so young/in-experienced as you are more likely to have a knock. And they wont cover you at all if you lie about even the tinyest thing.

confused.com just give me bs quotes the best quote they could give me was £3000 a year to insure me under my mas name (as a named driver)
against my mas jeep insurance £1200 which went down to £1000ish and goes down again by a lot after i pass and then again when i turn 18

how are you doing that if she's signing the GP to you,and given you will be the main driver?
 
Im sorry but your jeep insurance sounds fake/too good to be true. Is that £1000 with modifications included? Is it 3rd party Fire/Theft?
Also how can it be under your mums name if the cars registered to you...

no as standard fully comp it would be cheaper but my dad is also a named driver (and he has driving convictions)
my ma owns the car and insurance but is signing it over t me when i can pay the running costs.

she is also going to take out an insurance policy for me personally when i pass my test.
