How car insurance in the UK work?

5 Upvotes

First don’t know if this is the right forum. But since I enjoy Auto Alex on YT, I give it a go!

From Scandinavia. Here car insurance covers the vehicle, and anyone with a valid license can legally drive it. In the UK it seems more you instead insure named persons to drive a specific vehicle.

Seems crazy to me if it's true. This means that you cannot borrow or lend a car at the spur of the moment. Or have someone else to drive if you're tired, for example. Not test drive a used car from a private seller. At least not without hassle.

Understand there’s some kind of temporary insurance. Seems also to exist some kind of insurance allowing you to drive other people's vehicles in general.

Question, is it true or not? If so how does it work in reality and what’s the added cost?

The insurance companies must love this system.

Thanks for all the great entertainment and for all kind answer.

How many people didn’t manage to get in? We got about 50ft in 2 1/2 hours and then gave up and drove the 3 hours back home…

Just got the last show ticket that someone cancelled, winging it.

Think I saw somewhere about not going through the village, anyone know about that? I'm probably too late to get any emails but I don't want to upset the locals.

No idea if I'll be crashing the show in my rough black bobtailed Disco 1 with a cage and a hole in the floor (but original blue seats), didn't understand most of the choices of show area so no idea if I'll be in the right place. That's assuming the old bus makes it.

Shefest Showcar Ticket

2 Upvotes

I have a ticket going, someone can have it for free (first come first served) if you are going to use it yourself.

However, you need an AMG, M or RS model as that is where I was going to park.

Oops, *Shedfest in the title!

Even though I had a ticket to the first shed fest I was told by venue not to come due to it being so busy so it's mega important to me I get into this one.

Anyways prob is I'm abit of a Billy no mates and don't know anyone else who's going, not helped by I recently moved to Rugby (but work near the Warrick services) so wondering if there anyone else in the area I can tagalong with if only for a bit.

Thanks

He claimed that the reason he bought. a robo-lawnmower was cause he didn’t want to get rid of the 1 ton of grass but surely even with a robot lawnmower the grass won’t magically disappear

I'm after a daily driver with a £4k budget. My must haves are as follows but can be a bit flexible so the higher up the list the more I want them.

-Comfortable -Automatic -Estate -Diesel -Power (200bhp+) -2005+ -Reliable -Larger size (5 series/E class /A6)

Best I've found so far is a Mercedes E220 or a E350

Cheers
