Parents 'breaking insurance laws'
They say the premiums being charged are not excessive.
"Yes, £4,000 is an awful lot of money but it accurately reflects the risk posed by young drivers," said Ashton West, the bureau's chief executive.
Mr West is keen to stress that fronting was an attempt to obtain money by deception, and therefore amounted to stealing.
And it was not just a criminal record parents could be saddled with. Insurers could refuse cover, and deny insurance in the future.
"If you cause injury to a third party, you will have to pick up their costs as well," said Mr West.
"That could be hundreds of thousands of pounds, and those consequences could stick with you for the rest of your life."
To see for ourselves whether parents were aware of the illegality of fronting, the BBC spoke to some as they parked up in the centre of Milton Keynes.
Within the space of 15 minutes, we spoke to three parents who told us they would be perfectly happy to put themselves as the main driver on a policy, even when it was not true.
