Save fuel, plug something in your cigarette lighter socket...

Trust in the technology, it must work because the seller says so Plenty of people must believe in the power of positive thought to have 1200 positive feedback -
Spotted @2:00 pm today near Morrison Shrewsbury looked immaculate.

Just think that you are £250 better off by canceling and getting sorn insurance rather than sticking with an unnecessary ( and currently useless ) policy. Glass is half full that said, anyone that doesn't treat you fairly deserves to be highlighted so others don't suffer the same treatment because 50% refund after just one month is unreasonable and worth contesting, pro rata less an admin charge would be fair and reasonable in the circumstances. I hope sky insurance read these posts and do the decent thing so as not to risk losing other custom. but again, don't stress the small things and stay positive.

Really c@#p news, my sister had similar twenty years ago, just over a year later all was well again with no reoccurance. Regarding insurance it makes sense that if you don't have a current and valid license no one will insure you to drive, the sorn cover makes sense also sorn saves the cost of tax for period and if not taxed car can't be driven anyway. Don't get too hung up on things you can't change and stay positive, this year will fly by.

NEW MEMBER/THANK YOU TO EVERYONE

welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy the zed!!! Beavis, you have way to much time to spare!!! -
I usually fill up about 250 miles this is generally 50 odd litres so always leaves plenty to go looking for "super" unleaded, I never want to risk running on fumes and having to put regular in. Generally I find the dte reading fluctuates like mad - when I set off this morning said I had 180 miles 40 odd miles to Leicester meet and still showed 170 miles fuel left but on the way back this dropped to 70 miles left then I filled up. As Grundy said it's all about driving style.

I do 40k plus miles a year, mostly on my own and have used a mobile or car phone for too many years to count but I have always had a proper car kit fitted. Mobile phones aren't dangerous, it's the idiots that use them inappropriately that are dangerous. Let the phone go to voicemail if it's not safe to answer. I once had a manager who threatened me with a written warning for not answering my phone, showed him Co. handbook and told him i would take said warning to m.d. - never did get the warning! Seen too many accidents, some with worse results than seen above, I could not live with myself if I ever thought I was responsible for someone else's injury or death.

Certainly go to the docs and discuss your feelings, there is lots of support out there. But don't be too quick to start popping pills, from people I've seen it only masks issues, get out and try to be positive (often easier said than done!) Think about what you might like to do next and look into training requirements etc. If there is nothing on the horizon think about volunteering, this can be very rewarding and will look better on your cv - on that point, get your cv up to date and post it on as many job sites as you can. I still get approached three years down the road with job opportunities. Just remember, there is life after redundancy, many of us have been through it, often more than once. Finally, don't ever be too macho to ask for help. Good luck.

Going back to the start, the proposed fines are maximums, apparently magistrates guidelines won't be changing and they base actual fines on ability to pay based upon individual incomes so the £10k would only be applied to someone earning £20k per month.Of course this does mean that an unemployed person caught speeding on the motorway would get off with a pittance, which seems hardly fair. Points will always be the best deterrant so I agree with an earlier post the points should be graduated according to severity of offense.
-
As above, but you only get 45ppm up to 10, 000 business miles then it drops so watch how many miles you do and claim correctly or hmrc will be down on you.

Ian, wish I could offer some advice! For what its worth I think you are on the right lines with a blocked drain hole I hope you get this sorted.
-
Good luck, I hope the other party admits fault but the tendancy is to be economic with the truth, hope you also took photos of the scene as these can help insurers apportion blame.

If not sold to jimmy I am up for this and going to the meet on sunday so please put my name on it.

Welcomesand enjoy your zed. Bet it doesn't stay "unmolested" for long
-
A real shame, not what you ever want associated with any form of motorsport, thoughts go out to the families and the drivers.
-
as long as you don't want latest films etc netflix and lovefilm are great, easy in and easy out terms and low monthly charge. We prefer lovefilm as it also includes dvd's delivered to your home (these tend to be more up to date) £6.99p.m.

The Ginger Ninja Build Thread....SOLD 3/10/15
davedutch replied to buster's topic in Member Build Projects
what happened to the cunning plan you were telling me you had for the bay? your car never stays the same for long so i suppose this doesn't stop you "improving" the bay further. -
just make sure you stress you pulled up with enough space between you and the Audi, because generally insurance co's will say you are at fault for hitting the car in front even though you were rear ended. you may need to show the Meriva hit with enough force to push both you and the Saxo forward with enough force to push you into the car in front despite you leaving sufficient clear space - a hard one to prove so good luck. I really pity the Saxo driver because he could well be uninsurable after this.

10years of driving and my first speeding ticket...
davedutch replied to SkylineV35's topic in Off Topic Discussion
As above, if you opt for speed awareness course you have to pay for course which will be give or take a little the same cost. You have to spend approx four hours doing course but in return no points on license and no need to tell insurers -even if they ask as the offense has been dealt with. You can only do one in three years - i got caught recently for second time in 2years and ten months so had no choice but to take points - even if in different police authority. -
Recently had a bunch of kids on mopeds go past as I sat at a junction, beeping, thumbs up and swerving all over the place as they went by, thought they were going to crash looking back over their shoulders. Always teenagers and middle aged guys (says i )
