• Hybrids for motorways 8 Jun 2023 (Forum)
  However, my concern is that most hybrids don't seem to return particularly good mpg figures for my kind of driving. Am I right in saying that for my driving habits, a hybrid is not probably not ideal? If I can find something that is significantly better on fuel that also ticks all the other boxes for me, I will consider it.

• N/A - Drivers licence and purchasing a car in the UK 27 Jan 2022 (Forum)
  Hi there, this is probably a REALLY stupid question, but do I need a physical copy of my driving licence in order to buy an approved used car? I need to change address on my driving licence, and (for reasons unbeknownst to me) I'm unable to change my address online.  So I'll need to send it off, and (according to the latest info) I'll be lucky to get it back before 2054.

• Any - Not Using Car for 6 to 8 Weeks 4 Jul 2018 (Forum)
  A few weeks ago, I ended up having major heart surgery. Under the guidelines I will not be able to drive for another 4 to 6 weeks until my cardiologist gives me the all clear although to be honest at the moment I would not as I feel far from fit enough. My two cars (daily driver X-type and a classic Vauxhall) are parked up but I was wondering how to keep the cars themselves fit for driving.

• any - Buying Secondhand Cars. Easy !!! 20 Mar 2015 (Forum)
  Your insurance company should be informed ( as had always been the case). 3. The no no's are you can't sorn it then drive it home, drive it home without taxing it, because the seller has to notify the DVLA incase the new owner gets caught on camera or has an accident or parking fine as these would come back on the old owner.
