Back to the point, mum (87 and still driving okay) has been quoted £400 to insure her P reg Seat Ibiza.
My Father in law said he would stop driving as soon as he reached 80 years of age, he had always had powerful vehicles Jaguar, Aston Martin etc. He did so true to his word and if he needed transport we always obliged, I will definitely do the same as I think it's a very sensible decision.
Can I have your Astra?Some insurance companies won't quote you over the age of 80.
Those that do, on the comparison sites, quote anything from £800+ to £3500.
I've got full no claims, and a ROSPA gold advanced driving certificate (which they don't recognise).
The premiums for the old and cautious tend to mirror the premiums for young and foolish.
I wonder if this is fair.
I currently occupy the bit in the middle, so affordable (for now)
Yup, I'm quickly getting priced off the road.

Wucking fankers.
Mind you, the V8 dispatches such frustrations with a lovely burble
From what've heard it beats the alternative
Depends if you are living or merely existing.
Many old people are dragging their battered corpse like bodies around for years. What is the point.
Saw an advert about how the global shipping industry is a mahoosive contribution to climate change, and that the solution is to build more energy efficient ships powered by wind or hydrogen or solar power...
Er no, how about not transporting ship loads of crap around the world to begin with.
To keep up with the modern trend I now identify as a lazy old git!What's that got to do with EV's? Silly old duffer
By the way, in case you haven't heard, all the pupils of the school where they identify as cats have been suspended.
The reason, the school still has a mice problem!
Surely they're going to encourage drivers to concentrate on their speedometer rather than the road.
Just a thought.
Sort of like me staring at my MPG reading in the 3.2!
