Tesco Finance has introduced a range of vehicle warranties to its list of products, with prices starting at less than GBP10 per month.
The new Tesco Finance car warranty products enable customers to protect against car repair bills and can be used on most cars up to 10 years old, with mileages of upto 100,000 miles. The warranties cover most main mechanical and electrical problems and comes in three variants – starting with Value, then Standard and on to the Tesco Finest option.
Customers can now rely on Tesco Finance for peace of mind in yet another area of financial management and with the cost of car repairs rising as they grow more sophisticated a vehicle warranty product makes a lot of sense.
Government proposals for new 20 mph zones are receiving mixed responses from officials says car insurance provider Swiftcover.
There has been talk of a new generation of speed cameras supporting these new zones, though a safety campaigner from Exeter was unsure as to whether the cameras were the best way forward. A 20 mph zone would be in area where there are going to be children it would be thought, so the placing of speed cameras would actually take drivers eyes away from the road and onto their speedometers, thus negating the point of the zone in the first place.
An alternative view was put forward by a county councillor who felt speed cameras would be better than traffic calming measures, feeling they would be more effective.
According to Diamond Insurance, the women only car insurance company, teaching assistants from Perth in Scotland are the safest drivers in the country.
The insurer looked at their own information as well as more general industry details to determine the safest occupations statistically, with these Scottish teaching assistants topping the table. Female accountants and secretaries also fared well in the survey, whilst for men the safest drivers were those with a policing background, computer programming and engineering. A spokesperson from Diamond Insurance noted that it was reassuring to know that the people tasked with protecting us are also safe drivers.
On the other side of the coin, the female drivers most likely to have an accident were hairdressers, with their chances of making a claim almost twenty percent higher than anyone else. Diamond Insurance welcome enquiries from any industry, confident that they will provide a very competitive quote.
