You can own a car and not insure, so long as it's not on a public road...... If vehicle is untaxed while on a public road, DVLA too would clamp it...... You would pay almost £200 to remove clamp, and before you pay, you must buy a road tax, to buy road tax, you require insurance......... And the sequence continues........

Lexusgs430:
Let's assume you drive vehicle home, don't forget traffic policing is done mostly using ANPR cameras......
If you get stopped, the vehicle would be immediately seized, you would have a very good day in a proper court......
You would be banned and heavily fined + points added to you license.....

Lexusgs430:
No grace period.... Not even 1 second......... The moment you drive a car on a public road, it MUST be insured, taxed and MOT'ed (if required)..........

I bought the car first and insurance later.

Lexusgs430:
Not unless you are contracting to some PCP plans.... All you do is, just buy fuel........ Every other expense is ballooned in.......

Lexusgs430:
It's vehicle 1st, then insurance next.............. I have always mentioned the joys of the Toyota Aygo...... If you want cheaper insurance, buy an Aygo type vehicle (under 1L engine displacement)...............

This is my experience;
1. Get a full driving first ( I went for an auto test/license, passed once)
2. Get an auto car( I got a Kia picanto 2012 auto 16000 miles at a Kia franchise dealer for almost £5500) best deal ever and almost new car. I don't regret my choice. I advise do what will give peace of mind.
3. How is much is my insurance? Guess! £650 from Aviva. All I did was to add my full license and my wife's provisional license as the 2nd driver.
My advice is make a lot of research and go for something that will give u peace of mind.
Side note: my Kia picanto auto is a 1.23l engine but drives like a 1.4l.

not really sure about admiral and their littlebox. they put a device that monitors your mileage and increase ur premium as you go....it was very annoying for me. Initially spent 1,400 when registering. at the end of the year,i paid out 2k.....i didnt even use up all my mileage, and was expecting automatic refund, but they said i didnt reduce the mileage myself. So they didnt refund my excess premium....If you rev ur engine too much, they know...very crazy monitoring

I’m not as lucky. I think it’s best I open up about this in my future applications including ILR and pray to God in heaven for favourable outcomes

Got the card today. Thank you.
£10k

Yes o, amex are quite generous with their credit limit. They gave me 22k, e almost reach for house deposit lol

nomad26:
Let me suggest that you get the AMEX Gold card instead https://www.americanexpress.com/uk/credit-cards/gold-credit-card/?linknav=uk-amex-cardshop-allcards-learn-GoldCreditCard
It's free for the first year and you get 20k amex points (this equals 20k avios & can be easily transferred to your avois account). You can easily cancel it after the first year, then get the BA card if you still want to.
To get the sign-up bonus, you need to spend £2k in 3 months. Also if an existing amex cardholder refers you, you get additional 2k points. PM me if you need a referral.

Curve is a life saver. I use it in Costco to pay for stuff before I got AMEX card. The only downside is they dont support amex(I'd have racked up my avios points) and you lose your section 75 protection.

So someone's grandmother cannot just come to your compound and borrow one chicken?

So After 2 fails I’ve sha finally passed my Practical Driving Test. Grateful to God.
.
Decided to post incase someone is failing and feeling bad, don’t! I felt very bad too initially, especially because the 2nd fail In particular was cause of a very silly reason IMO... But the experience has sha made me a better driver. So incase you’re here and seeing stories of people passing the 1st time and wondering why your case is different , don’t worry; You’re not alone and you will definitely still pass.

Glasgow is okay.You'll also see a number of African faces,some workers,many students due to the Universities there.

It has a Nigerian restaurant with expensive food owned by a man who never looks happy.

There are a few shops available where you can get Naija food.
