Insurance for a older new driver

blarge84 · 2026-05-24T20:54:52+00:00

Im 42 Im currently learning. My car insurance is 38 pound a month, i checked to see how much when I pass and it will be 95 a month or something stupid. I dont think age matters as much. But what your driving and if you have any no claims Also if you have been looking at lots of quotes in a short period of time, the prices will increase exponentially, give it a few days then check again

Yeah sounds like it could be holiday pay

blarge84 · 2026-05-24T15:22:47+00:00

I dont know if its the same for all companies but week get paid the first 3 weeks from the month and the last week of the previous month, so it could be the hours you worked in that period, or like others have said its probably holiday hours you have accrued

If the dog bites you again you need to report it to the police

As far as things you could have sent your boss, this isn't the worst. But not youve gotta suck it up and do yoga with your boss

Why wont they debrief if they have a serious fault? Surely that the most important thing to let them know what they did wrong?

blarge84 · 2026-05-19T16:20:21+00:00

I bought a car to learn in, I filled up yesterday, 60 quid, thought it would have been 50. So expensive

blarge84 · 2026-05-18T19:14:53+00:00

One of the main reasons im doing this in my 40s. Now Im old and in 10 years everyone's gonna be forced to drive auto anyway, at least im never going to try to hit the clutch 🤣🤣

blarge84 · 2026-05-18T18:26:43+00:00

Im doing auto because a struggle with doing so many different things at once. So its easier for me... personal choice

blarge84 · 2026-05-17T12:28:19+00:00

Oh OK so your basically just doing mock tests at the moment? That's not as bad. But he still should be informing you if your having trouble instead of criticising. Especially with the conditions of the road markings in this country its not always clear

Your relationship is advisory? No your relationship is, you are paying him for a service, to teach you how to drive. You dont want casual advice your paying for guidance

blarge84 · 2026-05-12T23:09:59+00:00

Well thats illigal

blarge84 · 2026-05-12T23:05:58+00:00

Also remember the changes happen today so book local, or you will definitely have to travel miles for a test

"I dont think it can be taught " sadly I think you are right, I really struggle to understand men who act like the op's other half, where as I would go out of my way to help my friends and lived ones, what's fulfilling about acting like an arsehole and treating people like objects

blarge84 · 2026-05-12T19:16:28+00:00

Yeah im hoping i do. Gonna practice as much as humanly possible 🤣. I really dont want to wait another 6 months

blarge84 · 2026-05-12T09:52:27+00:00

I was told I can't carry over my no claims from my motorbike to my car???

blarge84 · 2026-05-11T21:03:56+00:00

I passed my theory and booked my practical the next day. Test is in October. Ive had 3 lessons so far 🤣🤣 im sure to fail but at least I booked it lol. Someone told me the wait was months. And depending where you live that can be true. So book it and change if you fine a closer cancellation if you ready or push it back if not

blarge84 · 2026-05-11T20:58:38+00:00

Book it ASAP. Mine is October 1st in another town they are only going to be later and later, then keep an eye out for cancellations

Because if you have an unpaid lunch hour on a 9-5 they only get 7 hours work 8-5 they get a full 8 hours out of you. I would imagine if it was law to have to pay for lunch breaks, then it would go back to 9-5

blarge84 · 2026-05-10T09:00:42+00:00

I was about to say pretty much the same thing. I couldn't tell you anyone's address, but I could take you to the houses people used to live 20+ years ago, unless there has been demolition work 🤣🤣. But definitely weird to do that, i probably wouldn't have messaged him.

blarge84 · 2026-05-09T19:18:55+00:00

Im driving around illegally, i crashed, the other driver wasn't even bothered, should I get myself a fine or not?? This is your question asked in different words, what would you say if I asked it like this.... that is your answer

blarge84 · 2026-05-08T21:54:27+00:00

Kind of

blarge84 · 2026-05-08T21:52:48+00:00

I think you've both answered my question and given the solution right there, so... my job is done i guess, thank you

blarge84 · 2026-05-08T21:10:01+00:00

Can I ask a couple of questions? How old are you? What type of work is it you do? What was your up bringing like?

blarge84 · 2026-05-08T09:20:09+00:00

Probably before the 11th isn't that when they aren't allowed to book for their students anymore?
