Stupid Question about Car insurance
Apologies for this, as it may see obvious to some Car insurance is taken out for a 12 month period But if you find a better one 6 months in, can you ditch it and switch or do you have to pay the full 12 months (I'm aware you have a grace period of say 30 days at the start)
