no you dont need to have the fto insured to drive it using the policy on the astra. basically as long as the car is not your own, has nct and tax, then you are covered.
Different insurance companies have different needs to be able to use open driving on other cars.. hibernian is the company i used as it doesnt have a minimum age.. places like 123, quinn, axa need you to be over 25.
The only downside to using the extension is that they will not pay for the car you are using the open driving on, namely the fto, but will pay for damage to other cars and property if your involved in an accident.
It is perfectly legal and you can get a printed copy of all the details of the open driving from your insurer if you ask for it.
Just because this country is messed up, which makes it easier for me to get an insurance quote on an R32 2.0 turbo skyline over an ft, should not mean you dont have to drive one.. the route i took to get insured on the fto is my own business and this information is only to help other people.
