Insurer says quotation price was a mistake

The AA have quoted a teenager almost £33,000 for his car insurance, according to the BBC.

Jake Redshaw, 17, was quoted the figure for his six-year-old Vauxhall Corsa after passing his driving test in March.

The AA said the quotation price was a mistake.

Redshaw said: "The average [price] was probably about £12,000, £13,000 and the cheapest was £5,700. And I got £33,000 from AA.

"I can't insure it. If I want to go out I'll have to get my mum or dad to drop me off to go out. I can't be independent as I wanted to be."
