is $450 for drivers ed a rip off? should i go for it?
hey guys im 15 rite now and in new york wen ur 16 u can get a permit when u do drivers ed and my dad wants me to get it. i usually thought drivers ed was like 200 somtin. now im not in a rush to drive because i have plenty of time and i dont think someone my age NEEDS a car mabe somtin like a bike or scooter/moped. but my dad may be getting a car and if he does hell let me learn with him, and again the cars not for me if he gets one but it would be cool to get the permit and drive with him once in a while. What do you think? im only 15 but i think its ok to think about it =]. also is there any other car thats kinda like the honda civic? people say theyre good gas mileage,cheap, and good on insurance. thanks for any answers and throw in your opinions as well if you want
450 dollars is way too mcuh for d.e.
i did both my drivers ed and my behind the wheel for 260 dollars .
good first cars would be a honda civic, toyota corolla, volkswagen jetta, and ford foucs
they’re all easy to find, decently cheap, good on gas, and not toob ad on insurance. good luck!
how much would insurance be for a Vespa or Piaggio scooter in the UK?
Just a rough estimate for a 18 yr old female? Like what’s the range of prices? Any help or advice would be great. Thanks.
I’m 16 and pay £190 a year third party only to insure a Vespa ET4 50cc. Age would make a huge difference, make sure you get a decent lock and keep it in a garage these points will definitely bring down your insurance cost. Check out confused.com to get some quotes.
(Historic Vehicle Insurance) How To Get CHEAP Auto Insurance
The humble automobile has certainly been one of the greatest inventions in the history of mechanics. It transformed the way people live their lives, and the 20th century was, for the most part, a far more liberated period compared to the previous century.
Whilst the car was intended to free people from the constraints of foot and pedal power, it has gotten to a stage now where road congestion, pollution and fuel prices has made motorised four wheel transport an often frustrating, costly and environmentally damaging experience. In short, for many people, car transport is no longer the most convenient way to travel from A to B.
But the principal behind having access to private motorised transport is still a sound one. After all, why should anyone have to rely on the often unreliable bus and train services that exist in many towns and cities across the country?
The 21st century and beyond will require a much smarter approach to private transport, one that will replace the abundance of single-person car occupancies on the world’s roads. And with the matters of the global economic downturn, pollution and overcrowding becoming increasingly problematic, many people are starting to assess the impact their lifestyle is having on the planet.
Of course, giving up the car is an obvious solution. But how will the public transport system cope with such a significant increase in the amount of passengers? People need a good substitute to the convenience of being able to go where they want, when they want.
It certainly seems that many people are starting to get the message. Motorised two-wheeled transport offers road users the convenience of private transport at a fraction of the cost. Typically, motorbikes use less than half the amount of petrol than that of a car, which means it will cost less to run and will be less damaging on the environment. Furthermore, motorbikes are far more mobile than cars, meaning they can bypass traffic jams and can be parked in much tighter spaces in cities. Motorcycle insurance is usually cheaper than car insurance too, which is one more reason why some road users are choosing to switch from four wheels to two.
So, at a time when many people are starting to really feel the squeeze of the credit crunch, in conjunction with an increase in environmental awareness, it makes a lot of sense to start considering other transport options.
