Its a risk to take and theres no problem listing a parent as a main driver if . . . → Read More: Young drivers beware!]]> It’s a way of maintaining a good rate on motor insurance but it’s been recently flagged in the media, we’re talking about having a parent listed as a main driver of your car when in fact they aren’t and could result in bad consequences.

Its a risk to take and theres no problem listing a parent as a main driver if this is actually true, but if you are caught out. Insurers could refuse to pay the bill and if there is an injury to the party involved then the costs involved could be thousands. Because it has been brought to the media’s attention, its a chance for parents to realise that the practice is in fact illegal and stop immediately. All the insurers need to do is ask neighbours who drives the car on a regular basis and this could be enough of a reason to not pay out the insurance costs.

Obviously there will have to be . . . → Read More: Will 20% of car sales be online only in the next few years?]]> The Internet is said to be bringing new changes every day with more and more people using the web for purchasing goods online. Nowadays, the trust in buying goods online is always increasing and its said that in the next 3-5 years, people will have the confidence to buy cars online.

Obviously there will have to be a lot of information on the car held on the website for people to fully trust the seller. This could include reviews, best prices, videos of the vehicle, pictures and insurance information. The only reason people will not buy online is because they haven’t test driven the vehicle. In my personal opinion, I believe the only thing holding back car sales online is the lack of the option to test drive the vehicle, at which point the buyer could then speak face to face with an advisor and then decide on purchasing the vehicle. Even though the Internet is making purchasing goods a easier, straight forward process, I don’t believe it will account for any more than 20% of sales.

General motor plans in which our . . . → Read More: Government transport rules]]> Today the governments rules and plans were unveiled, more specifically, transport plans. There some interesting points in which they have made, firstly for our hgv insurance customers, the government plans to introduce a system in which hgv drivers will be charged to ensure that UK hauliers meet a new fair usage policy.

General motor plans in which our motor trade insurance customers may find useful is that the newly formed government are planning a national recharging network for all the new hybrid and fully electric vehicles that are going to be growing in popularity. Something in which the government is highly focused on is cutting emissions. Lastly, they are going to put a stop to central funding for fixed speed cameras. We’ll let you be the judge on that last one.

It turns out that due to some noticeable profits last year, Chrysler are making steps forward to extend their dealer network. They started at the end of last year when they added 7 new names to their list and continue by coming down to Kent and signing up Ashford Orbital as their next dealer. Currently Ashford Orbital already do business for Mazda, Kia and Hyundai. It’ll be interesting to see how Chrysler do this year with the end of the scrappage scheme and the economy getting itself back on track!
