Roundabouts - Give way to the right if a vehicle has not yet entered?
Wifey and I are having a fun argument/dispute about roundabouts. I watch some of the Youtube dash camera vids, and have noticed a growing number of roundabout clips sent in by the cammer, which to me seem to be showing their error, not that of the car that's ahead of them. Putting aside the many clips of cars pulling onto…

Did I do the correct thing?
Driving on a local bypass, of which I have heard of a few accidents, I was getting ready to exit and indicated, slowed down and stopped, waiting for the oncoming traffic to pass by before I exited right.

Should I share dashcam footage with 3rd party?
The other day another driver clipped the side of my car with their wing mirror while overtaking me on a dual carriageway. Whilst I have front facing dashcam footage, it does not show the actual incident but I do believe it is strong circumstancial evidence, since the knock to my car is audible and so is mine/passengers…

Considering an EV on salary sacrifice scheme
I was curious as to what people would do in my position. I bought a 20 reg Dacia Sandero Stepway second hand two years ago - using a mix of savings, trade in and a 0% credit card which I paid off in a year. I’ve probably done about 24000 miles in the car in this time. I’ve had to pay over £1000 in maintenance too…

Best way to go about buying a 'newer' car?
I'm referring to things like finance, hire purchase & whatever else would get thrown in that band as I have no clue about any of it whatsoever. In the market for 2 cars, which cuts the budget drastically & I'm finding it difficult to get something. Our budget is generally about £2k or has been in the past. I've stretched…

DVLA and paper licences
We have lived in the same house for many years so have not changed our paper licences. My friend says it is illegal to keep paper licences if your address has changed (which obviously I knew) even if the only change is the postcode. Many years ago the Post Office changed the first letters in the postcode for this address,…

Breakdown Cover
Another great win - got my Green Flag renewal docs which quoted me a price of £63.45 (last year I paid £50.76). On checking online I saw that the same cover for a new customer this year was £46.38 so I contacted GF and they agreed to that amount. A saving of £17 and cheaper than last year's price! That is a win!
