Car insurance - UK

My provisonal license will be valid in 2 months when im 17 and once i take my driving test and pass it, i plan on getting a car.

The thing is that insurance will be quite high as i would have just passed my test and im only 17.

My question is:

If i get the car and register it under my mums (or dads) name and put the insurance under their names would it be cheaper?

Bear in mind that my parents have about 16 years of no claims bonusus too,

thanx xxx

    I know in Belgium you can - would surprise me if you couldn't in the UK. I asked the price difference for ensuring my motorcycle on my name and on my dad's; it was almost double the price!

    If you ensure on one of your parents names, you must register yourself as "secondary driver". (in my case an extra €20, on a total of €150 - registering on my name only would've cost me €350/year)

    The difference between both contracts is that the primary driver must be the driver that uses the car the most. Something the ensurance company virtually cannot check ;-) If you have a severe accident, they will ask your neighbours / friends etc though who drove the car most of the time.

    I don't think it can be done as when you insure a car, the car must be registered in your name. It wouldn't be any cheaper anyway, you are a high risk to them, regardless of who owns the car.
