I have to take it to the official Toyota branch and have it checked out? Is it compulsory or just advisable (the car is 7 years old and has the…

learner driver failed to merge onto 2 lane dual carriageway
Hello, was minding my own business driving along dual carriageway, in the inside lane. A learner driver approached from an on-ramp. Failed to merge with my lane.

Can you legally drive after mot failure
This question may appear a bit daft initially, but it is possible for a car to fail the mot on something that does not make it unroadworthy.

Bit of a quandary! Car insurance comes up in late November, and I will be out of the country for 2 months before. I always go for cashbacks etc....yes, look after the pennies! Would it be legal to insure my car with a different company from say 28th October, thus having an overlap of 3/4 weeks? It would certainly save…

Registered keeper - Who’s best?
My 17 year old son has just passed his driving test and I'm looking at buying him a little car. I am however unsure as to who should be named as the registered keeper. While I would have paid for the car, he will be the main driver, but that said I would like some say in how and when the car is used and if possible keep…
