I've got pass plus but Tesco insurance don't really care :/ But it was a fun course anyway.

Direct line care.

I didn't do the Pass Plus course but my insurance is £20 a month anyway - and it's only that because it cost me to put my Mum on

Yeah but they gave me a rubbish quote, Tesco were somehow cheapest even without talking PP into account.

Doesn't really matter once I get to November and hopefully the 1 year NCB

I learnt on a private airfield in my parents Omega, but when it came to driving on the road they decided it was a bit too big for a new driver (most likely rightly so) and traded it in from a 1.4 Mk4 Astra for mum and I to share.

It was then swapped for a 1.6 Corolla when I went to Uni which I still made use of when home for Easter/Summer.

My first actual car to call my own was my 2.0 1998 Mondeo Which I bought during my 2nd year of Uni (Nov 2003). Traded that in Dec 2005 for my 2nd and current car (2002 2.5 Mondeo).

Definately want something non-Ford next, but for the timebeing they're cheap and a lot of car for the cash.

I'd like to think maybe I'll keep this car for a year or so, and then get something with a bit more Kudos (BMW 5'er wouldn't go amiss...).

Yeah i took pass plus and I am with Tesco insurance, didn't really mind though as it was the cheapest by far for me and I wanted to do the motorway driving as i had done the rest!

Same

The motorway driving was very helpful I found. If nothing else it made me feel a bit more confident when I was on the motorway for the first time on my own.

Yeah i was quite worried about going on the motorway for the first time, so i wanted to do it in the car i was used to driving and with the extra controls on his side
