How do I buy a good car insurance

Decide on the level of car insurance cover

  • The cheapest car insurance cover is third party. This protects you from liability if you injure someone and pays to replace or repair their car, but does not cover damage to your car.
  • A slightly more expensive option is third party, fire and theft. In addition to third party cover, it pays for repair or replacement of your car if it’s stolen or damaged, or destroyed by fire.
  • The most expensive car insurance is comprehensive. These policies also cover damage to your car if you are involved in an accident.

Things to look out for in car insurance cover

  • Check that you’re covered if personal belongings are stolen from your car.
  • Check for upper limits, i.e. what the policy will pay out on individual items—for example, expensive in-car audio equipment.
  • Check for legal protection cover, which is essential if you’re involved in a legal action as a result of a car insurance claim.
  • Ask about any excess, i.e. the amount you have to pay on each claim.

How to cut the cost of car insurance cover

  • Shop around—buying online can be up to 10 per cent cheaper than a phone quote.
  • Check to see if you’re entitled to any no-claims discount. These vary widely between insurers, but if you’ve driven without making a claim on your car insurance for a year, typically you can save 30 per cent on your car insurance premium and up to 70 per cent after four years without a claim.
  • Are you a woman driver? If so, you could be in line for cheaper car insurance. Some insurers look more favourably on female drivers as, statistically, women’s claims are for relatively minor accidents.
  • Keep your mileage low—if you do fewer than 12,000 miles a year, you could save money on your car insurance.
  • Fit extra security. Installing an alarm or immobiliser can cut car insurance premiums, as can off-street parking or keeping your car in a garage.

Statistically, young drivers are more likely to have an accident and claim on their car insurance, so premiums can be very high. To help reduce these:

  • Buy a car deemed by insurers to be in a low-risk group.
  • Enrol in the Driving Standards Agency Pass Plus scheme.
  • Shop around for a specialist policy aimed at young drivers.

Tip How do I buy a good car insurance

If a young person occasionally uses their parents’ car, they can be added to their parents’ car insurance policy as a named driver. Don’t do this if the child is the main driver, however—it’s illegal and car insurance companies are clamping down on the practice.

Design Car (If You’re Living In Japan)

Now we know why Design Car (If You’re Living In Japan); people build cars as a hobby! Or at least that’s what Mitsuoka Motor is betting on. The auto company has released the K-4 micro car kit. This is a real, working mini-car that is about eight-feet long and comes in an old-school sports car design. You assemble everything on your own (to an extent) and after about 40 hours of work, you’ll be driving around in a new car that’s capable of doing 31-mph (race around the park, anyone?).

I suppose that’s all a 50cc-engine can handle, but I bet it’s still a blast to scoot around in. Anyone ever seen anything like this in the states? Have you made your own car?

Design Joseph Kosuth Chair

Was ask to write about this guy artwork on “OneAndThreeChairs”

i think it is kinda of interesting & weird that he actually blow up a pic of the chair

and puts an actual one beside it. It says that he is trying to show a Design Joseph Kosuth Chair

i think what he is trying to show is that what u see in pictures can actually come alive

to play tricks with our eyes for e.g if we stand far away i would think that it is 2 actual chairs together

The Moy Concept is a project of a compact car capable of displaying Winner custom graphics and videos through a body made of polycarbonate panels with integrated LCDs and LEDs.The car, designed by Elvis Tomljenovic, was the winner of the contest at the auto(r) conference.
