Age is not a significant factor when it comes to driving, according to a breakdown organisation that rejects claims that compulsory eye tests should be introduced for over-70s.
Our cars are becoming more and more filled with new technology designed to help make driving easier; electric windows, air conditioning, power steering all contribute to a better driving experience.
Would you pass your driving test if you had to retake it today? It seems that many drivers feel they would not be able to get through the written and driving tests and pass according to a recent report from a leading online insurance provider.
Every day many of the country’s motorists take some sort of medication; it may be a simple pain killer or a more robust drug like a hay fever remedy. However, it seems that some drivers are not aware of the effects these tablets are having on their driving.
According to a recent Be Wiser Insurance poll 70% of UK motorists believe price is the most important factor when selecting their motor insurance policy.
This might not always be the best way of choosing motor insurance, according to Mark Bower-Dyke, Chairman of Be Wiser Insurance:
The Home Office have revealed a “new tax” on motorists which will likely end up costing the British public even more on their car insurance premiums.
With motorists having to pay more and more to keep their cars on the road every potential saving is vital. Recent research has revealed that checking tyres could help ease the financial burden of vehicle owners.
Our car journeys seem to be taking longer and longer nowadays. There is the school run, the daily commute, the shopping trip and that is for those of us who do not drive for our job. With an increasingly sedentary lifestyle many of the UK’s drivers are not a fit as they used to be.
