Comment on Buying a used car? Follow these tips for a great deal by John McCheap

I gave a look to Evans Halshaw and is a really good and well done site to find cheap cars. The best luck for them. About the tips, “Find out The Hidden Story Behind the Car” I think is the most important. Here in the US there are many street car dealers selling cars with flooded and salvage title and people isn’t realizing that. Too bad. I was a victim of them.

Comment on Nearly 1.5 million drivers do not have insurance by Don Birkholz

One thing missing here is verification that this system works. Anyone in the world can “borrow” an insured vehicle. This system has no way to prevent that.

These verification systems add to the cost of insurance and you are going to blame that on the poor people who cannot afford insurance.

If you get your pleasure in hurting the poor, that is your choice, Me and Jesus do not go around hurting the poor.

I find that the DVLA Local Office staff are very helpful when transferring number plates.

Comment on The hazard perception test helps save lives by James (Hazard Perception Guy)

Hi Alan,

While the intention of the test may be good, I think that people need to be very careful when practising.

On the actual test, the scoring windows open up much later than a vast majority of practice DVDs.

Only a couple of Hazard Perception DVDs, are in sync with the actual test, one of them is the official DSA one.

If you are practising on a DVD which is out of sync with the test, then on the day you will end up clicking too early and missing many scoring windows.

Most people don’t realise this, which is why the failure rate of the Theory Test is ridiculous at around 40%, almost all of these people fail on the Hazard Perception part of the test!

Kind Regards,
James Shoob

You say people are wary about becoming self employed, but there are companies out there that also offer a secure job after you have qualified. Have a look over at http://www.BecomeDrivingInstructor.com from Learner Driver. I believe they do just that
