It will be the same cheap price either way, and we think you won’t be disappointed when you find out how much you can save. We can afford to offer great cheap rates on our car insurance because we only insure women drivers. Men are statistically proven to cause higher value car accidents and therefore make bigger car insurance claims, so we don’t subsidise them. You can however have a male named driver on your policy.

We also save our customers money by cutting back on some of our overheads. We don’t have a huge call centre to pay for and, as we are an online company we don’t have a high street branch. We also avoid advertising on TV and in other mainstream mediums as this can cost large amounts of money. We rely on our online presence to attract customers.

In addition to our cheap car insurance quotes we also offer some excellent driving tips and guides to keep you safe and informed. Read on to find out about driving and distances.

Space to the side of your car
When you are driving you need to be aware of what is going on around you at all times. It is very important to ensure you leave plenty of space in front of you and at the side of your car to avoid accidents. You need plenty of space to avoid hitting pedestrians, cyclists, horses and their riders, dogs, oncoming vehicles and many other hazards.

To control your space you should constantly judge the road ahead and be aware of what’s going on at the side of the road. You should never commit yourself to a space if you are unsure that you can get your vehicle through it, especially when you are passing a cyclist. Always make sure that there is plenty of room for error.

When you do have to pass a cyclist you should always allow at least 6 feet to pass. You should also check your wing mirrors before you pull away in traffic in case a cyclist is approaching. In the eyes of the law a cyclist is ‘permitted to wobble’ so you would have a hard time proving your case in a court of law. Similar rules apply to horses, you should always slow down and allow plenty of room to pass.

If you see cars broken down at the side of the road or children playing always expect the unexpected. If someone walks into the road you should always be able to give them plenty of room.
