Jeremy — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 14:26:34 +0000

Research conducted by the DVLA suggests that many cars which have been involved in car accidents and have subsequently written off have been allowed back on the road. This is the measure being taken by car drivers in a attempt to cut costs. The downside is that British drivers now need to check that they will be covered in this situation as insurance providers are now withdrawing this offer. In 2009 105,000 cars were written off and shortly after returned back onto our roads after being classified as re-certified and roadworthy. This is a increase of 10000 since the previous year.

When choosing a car it’s worth shopping around for the best deal and the best finance possible. Research suggests that with the recession still at a low and the economy still not at it’s best more and more people are buying second hand cars from dealers or private sellers. Some experts claim that forecourt prices are now getting cheaper. Dealers rely on people buying based on registration plates which catch customer eyes. If you are buying a nearly new used car the depreciation starts straight away. At the larger car supermarkets picking up a deal on a car with 10000 on the clock and remaining warranty is more likely – especially at Christmas time.

With the older age group being targeted to have there driving tests carried out again many campaign groups are calling this a mistake. The Royal Automobile Club better known to us as RAC has also said that it would be not actually be worth doing as there is no guarantee that our roads will be safer and there is no way of actually ensuring and policing this kind of initiative. People over 70 are also very reliant on there vehicles and they allow them to carry out daily tasks which they would otherwise find difficult to do. 63% of all trips made by this age group are as passengers and as drivers.

Fronting

Jeremy — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 19:13:49 +0000

Surprisingly, it is believed that over two thirds of drivers in the UK prefer to lie about being the main driver of a car, when they are not. A common example of this, is where a parent will claim to be the main driver, to reduce the premium, when in fact, their son or daughter is. The government aims to clamp down on this as it is a breech of the policy, and also means the insurers are losing out on money. This breech is commonly known as fronting, and even though people who commit the act believe that they are saving money, when it actually comes to claiming insurance, their claim will be invalid because they aren’t the legal main driver of the car.

Jeremy — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:09:46 +0000

In a recent admission by one of the UK’s top current insurers, swiftcover.com, those of us who enjoy driving sports cars may have to pay out more money than those of us who drive ‘normal cars’.
