Obtaining Insurance for Young Drivers

For most young drivers passing their test is one of the best days of their lives. Unfortunately, that tends to be where the fun runs out. Finding Cheap Car insurance for young drivers is often a difficult and frustrating quest that ends with a lot of compromises and not much reward.

A lot of people wonder why car insurance is so expensive for young drivers. The main reason is that, statistically, young drivers are the most likely to crash.

It is very rare that you will find an insurance provider who can offer you a quote that is within the budget of a young driver. However, some websites do offer special student discounts, an offer that should definitely not be ignored. They can offer up to 10% off your insurance quote if you can provide valid student identification. This is a huge help to most young drivers who often tend to be students as well. (more...)

Buying New or Used Cars

Becoming a Taxi Driver

Becoming a taxi driver as a regular job is not a bad idea if you enjoy meeting people and don't mind putting in long hours. It is one of those jobs that allows you a certain degree of independence, and to get out of it as much as you put in. Although some taxi drivers are independent there are many more who have their own cab but work for a hire firm and take a percentage of their overall earnings. Before you start looking at used taxi sales though, you need to consider some basic requirements for the job.

You do need, of course, to be able to legally work in your chosen country. In the UK you will need a full driving licence or a European Union licence plus UK counterpart. Local authorities may vary somewhat in their requirements but you will most likely have to pass a crminal records check, a medical test, and a "knowledge" test to ensure you can find your way around whichever local area you choose to work in. There may also be a practical test which is similar to the normal driving test but includes extra considerations such as making safe U-turns, and stopping in a safe manner to allow passengers in and out of your vehicle.

Taxis can be either licensed Hackney carriages that can be hailed in the street or at a taxi rank, or can be licensed private hire vehicles which have to take their passengers from bookings via a central office and are not allowed to pick up in the street. In London the Hackney carriages are generally the well known black cabs which are everywhere - except when you want one of course! (more...)
