You haven't mentioned your age, but assuming you are fairly young, you would likely be spending £200 per month on insurance. You've obviously run your life without a car up until now, so another couple of months should be possible.

I do however appreciate though that now you have passed your test, you want a car.

Chris is actually right, another couple of months having no car won't hurt you at all.;) Anyway, since you just passed your test an article I read recently may help you get started. According to the article, red-light cameras take a picture of a driver and his or her license plate when they drive through a red light. Motorists generally hate them. Many feel the gadgets are designed to make money for a city, and not to catch bad-guys. However, two devices have just appeared that use similar technology to make red-light camera photos useless to police force. One of the gadgets can be bought now. The other is still raising money to get UL certification. To read the full article, you may go here: New car to buy.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
