500/mo is outrageous! How can you even afford that? I pay 260/mo, but I've had an accident when I had my BC "N" license, almost 6 years ago now. Every place I called was around the 260 mark for me.

That is way too much. Try getting a quote from Belair Direct. They were the cheapest when I was 18 and still are the cheapest at 23. All other companies were outrageous when I was 18 too.

In Ontario a G license is when you have your full license. I'm assuming the OP has a G2 (can't drive with any alcohol and has to ensure all passengers have seat belts on) which is the license after the G1 (need to drive with a 4 year G licensed passenger).
Don't know what N is.

"N" license is only in British Columbia. The licensing system there goes:
"L" (Learners), and basically you can only drive with someone age 25+ with a valid driver's (no driving alone), can't drive at night, no alcohol. This is required for 1 year.
Then you get to take an actual driver's test for the "N" (Novice). This is kind of like a full license but you can only have 1 passenger unless accompanied by someone age 25+ with a valid driver's, no alcohol. This is required for 2 years.
You then get to take a final driver's test for your Class 5, your full license. Also, for the "L" and "N" licenses you are required to display a corresponding sign on the back of the vehicle. Usually they give you these nice big magnets with the letters on them in red for L and green for N. You can get a fine if you're pulled over with out them on too! Hurray BC licensing system.

Well I just got my G2 license in november 2008 and I'm 22. As far as tickets go I got a ticket for going through a red light when I was 20 on bicycle and I didn't have any type of drivers license at that time so I just Paid off the ticket. So when I got my license and called around for a quote guess what that stupid redlight infraction on my bicycle stayed on my record so TD was the cheapest I could get. Well my insurance expires in November hopefully I can find something cheaper this insurance is killing me 500 plus car payments damn lol.

Best bet is to call a few brokers and find the best price and coverage that suits you.
