    ok, i'm 16. just startin to worry about gettin a veichle. i was gong to get a citroen berlingo van. when getting an insurance quote (pretending i was 17) i put down as self employed, in photography. i dont own a business as such. i do make all my money from photography tho. if i done this on my real policy would the insurance company pay out? the reasin i would want to do this is because the insurance is one heck of alot cheaper wen i do thid

    I would think so, I mean, techniccally you don't need any formal recognition to be self employed as a sole trader under your own name. The easiest way to find out is to ring up and ask them.

    /edit: obviously you would have to use your real date of birth

    Ok, simple put..... insurance is based on honesty, you lie, get cheap cover, you crash and seriously hurt someone, they see you've lied, your not covered, your in more trouble now and handing out more than the savings was worth in the 1st place......get proper cover....

    but the question that i'm askin IS am i liying? because the primary purpose of the van will be for getting me from a to b for press work, and photography work.

    and no. i will be licenced, and insured. why else would i put time and effort into researching all the possible options?

    Simple answer: don't lie.

    And don't use these forums as a sounding board for your rather silly ideas.
