Writing about short-term motor insurance, changes in UK motoring law, and the real cost of getting on the road.

What we cover

We publish when we have something useful to say rather than to a content calendar. Recent themes include the widening gap between annual premiums for young drivers and pay-as-you-go alternatives, the practical effect of ANPR enforcement, and what actually happens when a vehicle is seized under Section 165.
