• Car Insurance Law 3 Sep 2015 (Forum)
  I had fully comprehensive insurance on my car and although I had an accident and the car was scrapped I continued paying the insurance because I thought that the third party insurance cover (to drive other cars) would still exist. I was recently pulled over by a police office and was told that because the car had been scrapped, technically (although I was paying it) the police didn't exist.

• Breakdown cover 20 Mar 2020 (Forum)
  This has been discussed many times before but I thought it was worth a post to see if anyone had any advice or words of wisdom. It’s renewal time for my breakdown cover, which is for the Logan and the MX5. I’ve been with Autoaid for the last few years, but the renewal price has gone up from £43.31 to £59.99, which seems a bit of a hike. My car insurance are offering RAC cover for a supposed reduced rate of £109!
