The answer to this issue is the rear view camera. These cameras are easy to use but it is important that you choose the correct one to buy. Make sure that when you are looking to buy one you get a rear view camera that automatically turns on when you go into reverse. It should also look like a mirror. This choice makes it easier to use the camera.
When you buy a rear view camera you will get a LCD wireless monitor that you put on the dashboard.
There will also be a small holder for the wireless monitor and double sided sticky tape to install it easily. If you don't like this method, you can also screw it into your dashboard. This is a more stable way to install it and it is also very permanent. Don't choose this method until you are sure you want to keep the camera.
You can then plug it into the cigarette lighter using a 12 volt adapter. You can also tap into the vehicle's fuse box if you are clever enough to know how to do that. Just look on the internet for good instructions. You can also pay someone to install it for you.
The camera itself sits on the top or the bottom of the license plate, depending on your vehicle. The power needs to be hard wired, similar to hooking up a trailer's lights. It can either work all of the time or only when you are driving in reverse- the choice is yours. You will be grateful that you got a rear view camera the first time you use it. It really is an amazing invention.
Drive Without Insurance
It is thought that 1 out of every 5 people on British roads are drive without insurance. This means that if you are involved in an accident with a person with no insurance, you will not be able to recover any costs if it was their fault. Those who are currently driving are probably not aware that driving without insurance is illegal. Those who are aware obviously aren't deterred by the punishments that have been devised by the government.
The minimum punishment that you will receive for driving without insurance is a £180 fine and 6 points on your licence- a small price to pay if found out as opposed to paying an annual insurance premium. More serious punishments include a ban from driving altogether, which reinforces the message that driving without insurance is completely unacceptable.
People are perhaps more inclined to driving without insurance due to the current economic recession, which is taking its toll on many people's pockets. Another reason could be because the cost of car insurance seems to be forever increasing. More people are making fraudulent claims than ever before, and the number of accidents is not decreasing. This means that insurance companies are being forced to put up their car insurance premiums, as fraudulent claims and accident increases can be catastrophic for their balance sheets.
It is also more expensive to pay your car insurance premium monthly than it is by direct debit. Car insurance companies see monthly payments as a form of borrowing, so are likely to slap a high percentage of APR to anyone who doesn't pay their premium in full, in advance. This will encourage those who can't afford an upfront payment to not take out insurance at all, as they will be paying over the odds as opposed to those who can pay in advance.
