Not the registered keeper of the car but can I sell it
This is a tricky situation as you will need proof that you have paid for the car even though the loan was not in your name. I would suggest you gather evidence that you paid for it and ask the DVLA for help, they should be able to help become the registered keeper, then you can sell it.

Can you be the registered keeper on 2 cars????
You should be able to but I'm not sure if you would need two different insurance providers instead of the same one?

My Son ended a 6 month ban for speeding in March 2012 and is finding it difficult to get Insurance.
How old is your son? He may be rejected because of his age if he is young, a quick search on a comparison website will save you the hassle of ringing up everywhere. If you still have no luck then like gices suggested you may need to find a specialist car insurer

Hi, I'm 18 and i want a short term insurance policy, about 2-3 months. Is this possible? and which company should i use?
Endsleigh and the AA may be able to help, they do cover according to their website. Just do a quick search you may be able to find a comparison website for the best prices too.

i am having problems applying enough pressure to the handbrake to hold it on hills because of problems with hands
I would suggest a visit to a mechanic or car repair shop, if the handbrake is faulty you will need to pay for a new one. If you are still having problems then it may be with your hands so you will need to seek help from your doctor. Remember if it is health related you will need to inform the DVLA.

Even with Pass Plus my quotes are high, which insurance will give me cheaper quotes?
You really should have saved yourself the hassle by checking beforehand if you actually save money by doing the course. Where are you getting these quotes from? Other than getting a small car the only other thing you can do is try and have an additional driver this sometimes helps drive down the quote.

do car insure go chaper when do pass pluse??
£2500 is a lot to insure a car, my partners first car cost the same but when I was added to the policy the quote halved! Having a an additional driver who is female sometimes works.

Pass plus can bring the quote down but not that much, also what car are you trying to insure it may be small but is it classed as a boy racer car?

kamal | 01 Mar 2012 16:05
Does anyone know of a cheaper car insurer i can transfer my current insurer too? my current insuere is too expersive £250 per month.
£250 expensive? Try paying double that for a small Nissan Micra with 3 years no claims. Is it comprehensive or just third party? What car are you trying to insure?

Go to the comparison websites and try and get the quote lower, you can also increase your excess to bring the annual premium down.

Can I insure my 2006 Ford Ka for laid up Insurance
Yes this sounds about right, there are other insurance companies that also do laid up car insurance such as direct line and sheilas wheels.

i was banned from driving 2 years ago for 1 year after 23 years of driving can i become a driving instructor
As far as I can understand, no you can't. You must have a clean driving licence for the last 4 years, unfortunately they do not take into account your 23 years of clean driving.

I want to send my car Vauxhall Zafira to Mauritius, how much will it cost?
Well it's a little hard to price it accurately but I would say in the region of £2,500 - £3,500. This is going by the cost of a Nissan Micra costing £2,000+. Some things that will drive the quote up or down are things like the time it takes to ship, some can take 4 weeks others up to 12 weeks. Insurance that will cover your car in case it is damaged in transit etc

do the dvla look for drugs in blood or urine
Sometimes they do, they will notify you beforehand in most cases but it is not routine for them to ask you. They only ask if you have previously broken the law by drink driving or driving under the influence of drugs. Why do you ask? Can you add more details to the question?

Can I add my taxi ncd to my private car insurance
I wouldn't have thought so, taxi NCD are different to personal cars. Call up your insurance provider to ask as I could be wrong.

How do they test for drugs on your medical?
Usually it is blood or urine, urine being the most preferred as its quicker and the results are pretty much instant.

Got ticket for parking on zigzag line but it has wrong reg number on it
If its not the correct registration then you can dispute the ticket as it is inaccurate. Sometimes they have photographic evidence in which case you may lose but in your case it seems like you may be able to get away with it.

You may be able to seek free advice regarding this by a solicitor specialising in motoring law or the Citizens Advice Bureau, Good Luck

Can I get insurance for a car even though I ain't the registered keeper?
You should be able to as long as you state when asked who is the registered keeper. You have to be careful because if your boyfriend is the registered keeper he is responsible for all fines, speeding tickets etc also he will be the one that will receive notification for things such as road tax and MOT.

You will be known as just the 'owner' if you can prove that you bought the vehicle. Be careful as you can end up with problems when doing this with a boyfriend rather than a spouse

Named driver discount for Directline
Before signing up to a new insurer you should always read the policy and small print. By not doing so when its time to renew you will get stung like you have mentioned. Always shop around and before purchasing call them up and have a thorough talk to ensure you know what is and what isn't covered

Can I add a car onto my policy for my partner who is named driver on my policy?
You should be able to, call up your insurance company. Because you already have a car insured by them you should be eligible for a discount too so you won't pay full price.

after a drink driving ban, im am required to sit a test what is this test looking for and will canabis be a problem ??? please help x
It depends but sometimes you have a breath test so cannabis will not show up on the results, you may be ask for a blood sample or urine sample. If you give one they will certainly see that you have taken cannabis. You may be fined or you may be cautioned as drink driving is a serious offence they will most likely concentrate on that.

what liver levels are the doctors loooking for
Your question does not provide enough information for me to give you a detailed answer but I'll try.

The DVLA doesn't state this but ALT - Alanine aminotransferase & AST - Aspartarte aminotransferase is used to indicate the degree of inflammation to the liver. The aminotransferases are enzymes that are present in the liver cells (hepatocytes). They leak into the blood stream when the liver cells are damaged.

Obviously this is due to alcohol abuse.

Cars that are more likely to fail their first MOT test
By law all new cars need to have their first MOT after three years, then a yearly inspection is required to make sure the car is still roadworthy. Usually when a car goes for its first MOT ever, you are under the impression that everything will go smoothly and your vehicle will pass the test with flying colours but a recent publication printed by VOSA has shocked many. Worryingly, one in five cars fail their very 1st MOT test. This really shocked me but what was even worse was that French ca...

10 best selling cars in the UK for 2012
I was very surprised to hear that new car sales have risen this year by 3.3%. Actually I was a little shocked to hear that that most car sales were from private buyers. With the price of petrol and cost of living skyrocketing, I am bewildered that so many people would even think of purchasing a brand new car. Surely everyone knows that brand new cars are ridiculously overpriced? You lose thousands of pounds just by driving off the forecourt! Nearly 143,000 cars were registered this April, an ...

Cash for crash buses
So you’ve heard of cash for crash crimes that involve cars but now this has extended to buses as well. Scammers are now creating made up passengers to claim for compensation for injuries and stress. This crime wave is costing the economy billions every year as the majority of claims are made fraudulently. A recent case has been made public when an Audi purposely drove into the side of a bus and a total of 36 fake claims were made. The organisers of this crime are said to belong to an underwo...
