Road tax, MOT, cheap car insurance. Beckenham driving instructor.html

The UK road fund license or road tax as it is most commonly known as must be displayed on your front windscreen at all times that your car is kept on the road. A reminder is sent to you when your road tax is due to expire. Then a trip to the Post Office is needed together with your MOT certificate, vehicle registeration documents and insurance certificate. The road tax disc is available for 6 months or 12 months. If you can, go for 12 months as you can save a little bit of money. The cost of road tax depends on the engine size of your car, the bigger the engine then the more pollution it probably makes and therefore you must pay a bit more for your road tax. For more information on the Road Tax please visit the DVLA web site. M.O.T Everyone who uses the roads must ensure that their car is in a roadworthy condition and that it also meets certain environmental requirements. To make sure that it is you have to present your car for inspection at a MOT garage every year. When your car is tested, the MOT looks at some important items to see if it meets the legal requirements. Your car will be tested on the following: Vehicle Identification Number Seats Registration Plate Fuel System Lights Exhaust Emissions Steering and Suspension Exhaust System Wipers/Washers Vehicle Structure Windscreen Doors Horn Mirrors Seatbelts Wheels, Tyres, Brakes Some garages will give you a free MOT re-test if your car fails the first time. Once your car passes you will be given an MOT certificate. The MOT certificate is not a guarantee of the general mechanical condition of a vehicle however. Vehicles should receive their first MOT when they reach 3 years of age. For more information on MOT's, where to find your nearest MOT garage and other aspects of MOT's please visit the VOSA web site. Car insurance Car insurance is something else that you legally must have. This is one expense though that is not fixed and is something you can reduce by comparing prices with different insurance companies. How much the car insurance will cost depends on many things such as (deep breath)... your age, male or female, where you live, what you do for a living, completed the Pass Plus course, any points on your license, any 'no claims' bonus, the type and model of your car, the engine size, will it be in a garage, on a driveway, security on the car, mileage, any modifications and how old the car is! If you don't make a claim on your insurance and as you get older, every year your car insurance premium should steadily go down resulting in a 'no-claims' bonus. There are different types of car insurance: Third Party. This is the legal minimum and the cheapest policy. The third party is anyone you might injure or whose property you damage. Third Party, Fire and Theft. This also covers other people, property damaged and against your vehicle being involved in a fire or being stolen. Comprehensive. This is the complete and best cover, but the most expensive. Depending on the terms of the policy it provides cover for damage to your own vehicle and personal injury to yourself.
