Richard,
Is this any reflection on your own style of driving? | |

Richard,
A very commendable philosophy. As a holder of a Gold Advanced motorcycle licence and a member of Rospa I can only stress how important it is to treat driving very seriously and carefully.
Luckily I got my "Exuberance of Youth" out of the way when there were a lot less vehicles on the road but nowadays young learners have a hell of a lot more to contend with.
Take it easy and enjoy it and all the very best luck in passing your test. | |

| I think Car Insurance is about to change in favour of the boys. During the last three or four years it is the younger women who are beating the boys for silly antics. Now at least half of my "hit the brakes" are caused by the girls. Strangly, after 7pm-ish then the boys cause the most "blo..... H..." that was close. | |

Funny you should say that Bob as I have thought for a few years now that the more aggressive driving seems to come from the young ladies.
Am I the only one who thinks "Sheila's Wheels" is sexist and if it was a men only insurance company there would be all sorts of complaints? | |

| they cant legaly ONLY ensure women, they HAVE to allow men as well, but there is nothing stopping them charging men huge amounts of money for it!
