Why not? Often when you are young its not worth going comp as by the time you have paid your premium, your excess (usually high for young drivers on gti's etc) and lost the no claims you where building up it will have cost you more than the cars worth/what the insurers would pay out for the car if you do stack it so you may as well save the money in the first place......
