Car tax disc
I've noticed a car near to where I live with a tax disc with no writing on it. It has the expiry date and a PO stamp, but it doesn't have the registration, class details and cost, the writing hasn't faded, it doesn't look like it was ever wrote on. How is it possible to get a tax disc like it? It expires in December 2014.

speeding offence - best option to take???
Hi My son is 21 and recently got caught speeding at 68 in a 40 on a bypass. At the time of offence he had not been driving 2 years.

Help with insuring LHD vehicle with Romanian plates temporarily in UK
Hi all We have a bit of a complex situation. My husband and I are moving to France in five weeks. We were going to wait until we got there to purchase a LHD French-registered vehicle but it turns out that second-hand cars can be much more expensive in France and difficult to source. So we found a great buy on Ebay - Skoda…

"Hit and walk" incident
Just one day after collecting my "new to me" 11 month old car it has been damaged in a private car park by someone reversing into it.

How to proceed with a NIP for speeding..?

The photo shows the back of the car, so cant even make out who is driving. I don't want to say it was…

Non fault accident
Hi, Im looking at upgrading my car. In 2012 one of my neighbours reversed off his drive into me (sun was in his eyes). He admitted fault, he reported it to his insurance but then we decided to sort it out between us. I told my insurance company, everyone happy. I have had a 1 ltr corsa with cheap insurance so never really…

There's a house on the road leading to ours that is on a steep bend, and it's also on a hill. They've a double drive which meets the road on the lower part of the hill on the straight.

Badly designed roundabout or not?
Wondering what your opinions of this roundabout layout and whether you think the new road layout is poorly designed and perhaps dangerous. It's the old Saxondale roundabout at the junction of the A52 and A46 in Nottingham. If you're on the the A52 with intention of going straight over to take the old Bingham relief road…

First place I went to (a recently opened independent garage, specialising in tyres) was for 2 tyres.

I am considering taking out my insurance policy through Quidco / Aviva -…
