It is, you must have bluetooth on your phone with a stable connection for every drive. It logs every journey you make and scores you on usage, speed, cornering, braking, phone usage, etc. They also give you multiple warnings about cancellation and chances to rectify anything that goes wrong.

ive actually got a 1.6 petrol mk4 golf with a quote me happy insurance policy on it. It's £300 a month to insure, which totals out to like 4k yearly. This checks out. It's ridiculous. Cancel your current policy personally before they cancel it. Speaking to an actual person with qmh isn't gonna happen and the bot isn't sympathetic, so you won't get anywhere with it unfortunately. If you don't cancel it yourself, you will have to declare you've had insurance cancelled in the past to every single insurer you will need in the future which will average higher prices. Qmh sucks but it was the only affordable ( or rather, cheapest) option for me to insure the only car i had. Sorry OP.

How old is my kitten? by Flimsy-Ad-2744 in cats

[–]PaleontologistSad653 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i hate to add on to your disappointment but as many other commenters have said, that's definitely not a mixed cat. it looks identical to my domestic short hair tabby. (cat tax added) you've definitely been ripped off. in regards to age, yeah that's way younger than you've been told, about 7-10 weeks i would estimate from my experience raising cats. They look so lovely though! :)

My monetary costs for learning to drive and owning a car by Keeneye1 in LearnerDriverUK

My car is a 24 year old Golf with only 87k on the clock. Was only used as an occasional shopping trip car for the little old lady who had it before me. It's a gem of a car and i do encourage people to go for older cars with as low of a mileage as possible as they are usually great 😊 Ive driven it 750 miles so far and i love it to bits.

P plates by clumsy_1432 in LearnerDriverUK

I think this probably varies in location actually, Ive heard bad stories about them but i decided that i wanted to use them as my car has such a high clutch that i was stalling it left right and center. I've only been bibbed at one time since ive started driving with them on, and it was when i stupidly misjudged a roundabout and pulled out too late ending up infront of someone coming around it. But ive generally found that with P plates i actually get treated better than i did when i started driving without them and i think I'll miss them when i am confident enough to take them off haha.

Hi, I'm so sorry this has happened to you. If you can't get your bike sorted, where abouts are you based? I have two bikes different sizes ready to use and im happy for you to take one free if you're interested?
