If you accept and pay, your insurance will begin from the start date and time you specified. It really is as simple as that.

Can I put my 17 year old on my car insurance?

Yes, you can get car insurance without a black box as a 17-year-old driver. Using a black box is often a great way to keep premiums down, especially if you are new on the road. Some people aren't keen on the idea of their insurer keeping an eye on their driving style though.
