54,000 learners already have penalty points.

Speeding being the main offence at 60% of learners, followed by another 40% jumping a red light. But put into context that only accounts for 1% of the 7,000,000 learners on Uk roads. Nearly 1/3rd got points for no insurance and 1 in 6 were charged with driving recklessly.

Is this because they drive with friends or family rather than an approved instructor?

Right old moan!!!!

Have to say yesterday was the worst day I’ve had for Pratt’s on the road, not pupils but so called experienced driver’s, was personally abused on three occasions cut up on so many I lost count. I’ve said it before how would these people react if it was their son or daughter it happened to? I don’t understand the mentality of people sometimes.

Rant over 🙂

Can camera’s cut insurance cost?

Insurer Swiftcover is to reduce premiums by 10% for motorists who use forward facing dashboard camera’s in their car. As this can help reduce the number of contested claims made, by proving who was at fault, therefore speeding up the process of dealing with a claim.

The sale of such camera’s has increased rapidly over the last 6mths as more and more motorists look to protect themselves from bogus claims: ie: crash for cash.

Its probably only a matter of time before they all join in.
