Two points: 1. So what happens when you insure a loan car when yours is in being serviced? Some main dealers insist you get your own insurance for this, so in that situation you don't have an insurable interest in the vehicle as you don't own it. 2. As long as only one of you claims, there's no fraud. Otherwise you both end up in the slammer. So could I never insure myself to drive my wife's car? She may well not want the risk of losing any NCB by having me on her policy, for instance, so I'd have to go it alone. I totally understand the principle of insurable interest, but in this case you're insuring yourself against having to pay the owner of the car when you stack it. No difference to single day insurance policies, some of which are designed to allow you to drive a car you specifically don't own so you can test drive before purchase.

Because you could be held liable for a multi-million pound claim if the other guy doesn't insure the car. That's quite a lot of harm, I'd say.

Literally three posts above yours.

Oh bobbins, sorry to hear that dude. Is there no way to keep it? Give her more equity from something else? Be a shame to lose something that's just yours if you don't have to.

doesn't sound good mate, everything okay?

Rosberg - Ricciardo - Vestappen - Don't care after that Lewis to suffer engine issues again.

97 is fine. All fuels 97 and above must stick to the BS number to be counted as SUL, so something like BP Ultimate will work just fine.

Because look at it! I'd rather walk than be seen driving that.

BF1 is £50, no?

I assume you want to set fire to it? If so, I'm in for a fiver.

Correct. http://www.whitedalton.co.uk/motorbike-blog/2013/10/i-sold-my-bike-but-didnt-cancel-my-insurance/ http://www.visordown.com/news/general/biker-may-be-forced-to-pay-thousands-after-banned-new-owner-has-fatal-crash I'd cancel it the second the car left my doorstep.

Given we don't have a huge amount of Irish members on here, our statistical survey average is far too small to say conclusively either way. I wouldn't ever be buying an Irish Zed though.

Make sure the lock works? It's a mass-produced car by a common Japanese company, it doesn't need anything special doing to it if you're insistent on not using it because it's a bit nippy outside. You're only in Norfolk, it's not exactly Sweden when it comes to winter weather

This thread has ended in disappoint. Glad you got it sorted, pay attention next time!

Exactly. Plus you have to update your V5C and driving licence, so it's not like you can claim ignorance.

Well, it's certainly cost effective I guess! Not something I'd do, but it's better than nothing for sure.

That's just ridiculous, you've barely gone anywhere! How much extra is it to cover you for the rest of the year? Or is that what you're waiting for?

Aliveboy lives in the ghetto shocker

You're not starting a new policy in that case, you're simply removing a driver from your existing policy. You won't lose any NCB. What was your old postcode out of interest? The new one doesn't exactly look high risk to me, but I'm not local to that area.

I do shuffle (or at least, not stay rigid quarter to three) a bit more on the roads in 'regular' driving, purely as it makes the drive a little more relaxing. It's a technique I'm pinching from police driving, having read through Reg Local's books as well as watching his videos. Essentially it gives me a more flexible approach to my driving, so I can be smooth and in control regardless of whether on track or on the roads.

As in I was, or I wasn't? Pretty sure I always hold that wheel at quarter to three, but then it's not something I consciously look for.

As long as the oil stays below 120c, it's fine. An oil cooler of pretty much any kind will help massively.

Redline in 5th? *grabs popcorn*

I'm up for karaoke if Steve is...
