Wow what area do u live in? 5k is ridiculous, either you have a shocking driving record or something funny is going on. Also, having your name on the rego papers is NOT title to the ownership of your car, therefore the insurance company shouldnt care who's name the car is registered in. They just 'recommend' that the same name is on both pieces of paper. if you transfer the rego to your parents you will have to sell them the car, plus pay stamp duty. Bad idea.
