The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

I might be wrong, but I think you only retain your full no claim bonus for two years?

Its the checkable history that can be the problem, when I came back to driving after a break of several years my insurance was high because of that and I had to build my no claims from scratch.

From google
2 years
Your no-claims bonus (usually) lasts for 2 years
If you go longer than that without having insurance, you won't get any discount on your new policy. And that (usually) means you'll have to build up your no-claims bonus from scratch. OUCH

Yes but it isn't one year yet. 365 days in a year so plenty of time left.

Correct 2 years, but quite often as an incentive insurance companies will give you 2 or 3 years NCD as a goodwill gesture

I haven't driven for 296 days now can you forget how to drive ?

No. I had a year of not driving following an epileptic seizure. I'd guess it took me 30-60 minutes to get back in to it. Scary really.

Well then. There's bad television and then there's the BAFTAS. Good grief. Did you know there is now an award for:

"Best film not in the English language"

I'm sure it used to be called something else? 🤔

How much of that time was "trusting yourself time" though?

It was July 2012. I really can't recall.

I’m watching Crufts. Judge is just about to select the overall champion. Hoping it’s the Flat Coat Retriever

 

[Mo1959]

Yes!

Yes!

There were some lovely dogs there, I would have chosen the Irish Terrier a real beauty.

I’m not usually that keen on terriers but I agree. I still like my gun dogs though.

Just watched The Ipcress File. That’s my telly watching for the night.
