• Toyota - Car Insurance Question 1 Jan 2015 (Forum)
  I have comprehensive insurance on the car, with my hubby also added to the insurance.  If we get another car in my hubby's name, can I drive it as a third party driver (under my insurance) before we get insurance on the car ? Legally I can drive any car under my comprehensive insurance policy, so just wanted to check if the car itself should also be covered under insurance even if my hubby won't drive it when we bring it home for the first time ?

• car insurance - From HJ news 10 Oct 2013 (Forum)
  important;"> Insurance   along with most car insurers, will ask prospective policyholders for their Driving Licence Numbers. This unique 16-character sequence displayed on the driving licence will be used to obtain records   from the Driver  and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) on the type of licence a driver holds, how long they have held it, and whether they have any driving convictions.

• Toyota Corolla GS 1999 Automatic - Lost all drive and won't start 29 Apr 2013 (Forum)
  Whilst driving at 25mph suddenly lost all automatic gears and car coasted to the side of the road - moving gear lever made no difference in any position - engine was still running. Turner off and tried a restart and engine would not turn over (turning key has no effect) - power ok as lights etc come on.

  I had a go at him at the next set of lights, he wound his window down and shouted a few obscenities at me for pointing out his stupidity before driving off!
• Driving Licence Categories 4 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  Morning all, I am going to have to drive a Transit van next month and when casually looking at the back of my licence, I saw there was no van just car and....er...milk float. I thought something like a Transit van was in the same category as car but looking at both my Mum and Dad's licences, I notice they have a picture of a van, and a whole load of other stuff.
• Driving licence amendment 2 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  Hi Is it possible to 'insure' against the DVLA messing up my driving licence (losing entitlements etc..) if I send it off for amendment? I want the 01 restriction removed (need to wear glasses) as I want to learn to ride a motorbike. This came about as I clicked the wrong box when upgrading to a photocard licence; I've always worn glasses but don't need to as I can easily read a number plate at 20.5 metres without glasses and would rather not wear them with a helmet.
• Ford Focus 1.6 Ghia - X plate (2000) - Temperature gague in the red when driving at speed 19 Dec 2011 (Forum)
  When driving at motorway speeds of 70-75mph  the temperature gauge goes right up into to red. When you back off down to 50-60 mph, it falls back to about the 2/3rds point. The header tank is up to the max mark with coolant, and it does not appear to lose any fluid.

• Any - Driver discomfort 29 Mar 2011 (Forum)
   I am experiencing difficulty when I drive my present car. Essentially, I seem to be squashing my nether regions being delicate about this.  I am sure other men must have the same problem? I do stop regularly etc to get out but its becoming a real nuisance and I am driving to Cornwall tomorrow so I think I will have some difficulty.
• Fog/Driving Lights - Useful or Show?? 29 Dec 2010 (Forum)
  The roads in town are all 30 mph, but the reality in the evening rush hour is more like 5 mph, yet there were people driving with front 'fog' lights on. Surely completely unnecessary in such conditions, and even then I doubt that the majority of front facing lights fitted make any difference in fog. Then of course there are those that think they look good and have them on in any weather!
• Insurance - So can I drive another car? 9 Oct 2010 (Forum)
  Have to admit that I am one of those that has been under the impression that I can  legally drive another car without being named on the policy as long as the car is insured and I have the insured owners permission, although (and this is just a vague belief) the cover is reduced - road traffic act or something.
