Adding 3 additional drivers to my insurance, will this affect them?
Hi, I'm just comparing insurance quotes, and have found that adding my Father, my Brother and Boyfriend as additional drivers brings down my quote by £150 per annum. Does this affect them in any way IF I should claim?

seat belt warning light
Hi I wonder if anyone can help me. I have a Peugeot 207 and the seat belt warning light keeps going off in the back randomly when nobody is sitting in it. Is there anything that I can simply do to remedy this, apart from keeping the belt done up permanently? It keeps making me jump when it goes off whilst driving :) Thanks

Annual mileage likely to increase
I put x,000 miles down as my likely annual mileage on my insurance form. Now, less than 8 weeks into the deal, I've covered about 40% (yes, Scotland is faaaaaaaar away:p) .

Cyclists not using hand signals
I've lost count the times I've followed some cyclists that refuse to give hand signals when turning. Why the heck do you not follow the highway code and let me know where you intend to go?? NB: I'm a cyclist too so I know what I'm talking about here. It seems to be the lycra brigade who are the worst offenders.

I have a silly car.
Hi- i'm new to this area of the forum so please be kind! My car wouldn't start recently so I had the RAC out to look at it and they said it was a problem with the key and I should call an autolocksmith.

Peugeot 206 Xsi 1.6l
I am being offered a 2003 reg, petrol vehicle which I have yet to view - don't know many details including mileage as yet.

My licence - stick with paper or go for photo id?
Today I hit 60, yet I still have my paper licence - we are both is reasonable nick. I'd decided that I would finally cough up the £20 and swap to a Photo-Id licence - reasoning that I would then only have to pay the one £20 fee before my paper licence ran out at 70. Having a photo-Id might be useful? One bank a few weeks…

Anyone used The Hitman
I scraped the coloured (plastic) rear bumper of my Scenic on a concrete post and now have a vertical scratch mark. I've seen adverts in my local paper for The Hitman (concession??) who claim to be able to hide the damage. Has anyone used them? With what results and how much do they charge? Many thanks.
