Direct Line car insurance is offering a whole range of discounts and product innovations, all aimed at bringing down the cost of car insurance including 0% interest on installments for the first year, 10% discount when you buy online and 10% discount on the second vehicle. You’ll also benefit from no claims discount for named drivers, further discount if you insure your second car with them and the uninsured driver promise - if you’re hit by an uninsured driver, Direct Line will cover your excess and it won’t affect your no claims discount.

Direct line may be known for home insurance, travel insurance as well as van insurance or even pet insurance but if you take a bit of time and compare car insurance like we have done, you’ll see that you won’t get better cover for the price than with Direct Line car ins.
Cheap car insurance is not just about the cheapest insurance quote. It is more than that.

I bank with the Royal bank of Scotland and even they are offering car insurance. I think banks should stick to financial services and do what they do best…charging us interest.
Hey even Marks & Spencer now offer UK car insurance quotes.

You want to give your car insurance a full review or even check user ratings before you buy, give each policy a rating if you can. I made a list that included Tesco car insurance, AA car insurance, Liverpool Victoria car insurance, make sure you include all the big names like Norwich Union and Churchill on that list. Then ask a few simple questions. Which provider offers online discount, no claims bonus or even additional discounts or special offers like Direct Lines Get 12 Months Cover for the Price of 10 current special offer. Will you get a courtesy car if your vehicle is in accident? What happens if you are hit by an uninsured driver? What kind of value do you get for named drivers? If you got a young driver in your family car insurance can be more expensive than life insurance for the world’s oldest man. You will always need at least third party and it is a good idea to have comprehensive cover, get a quote for this too. Click here to compare.

Lastly, breakdown cover is always a smart move in this country, there is nothing worse than a breakdown in the rain. If you get insurance quotes online make sure to include a breakdown quote you could save up to 50% where additional benefits apply.

Go compare. Get a quote now from direct line car insurance.

        Know Your Units of Alcohol

        Monday, January 12, 2009

        Okay, a few pints or a couple glasses of wine seem harmless enough and can be considered quite civilized right? This is true but if you add in the fact that we often think in terms of pints of glasses of wine instead of units a couple drinks can easily take us over our daily limit?

        The NHS recommends that:
        Men should not regularly drink more than three to four units of alcohol per day.

        Women should not regularly drink more than two to three units of alcohol per day.

        You should also take a break for 48 hours after a heavy session to let your body recover.

        Pregnant women or women trying to conceive should avoid drinking alcohol. If they do choose to drink, to protect the baby, they should not drink more than one to two units of alcohol once or twice a week and should not get drunk.

        Additional advice from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) advises women to avoid alcohol in the first three months in particular, because of the increased risk of miscarriage.

        The NHS gives daily limits for regular drinking to make it clear that you can’t store up your whole week’s ‘allowance’ until the weekend and then drink heavily (this type of heavy or binge drinking is often harmful). The different limits are set as ranges (‘one to two’, ‘two to three’ and ‘three to four’ units) because there isn’t one single amount that applies to every person every day.

        The limits are lower for women because women’s bodies have a higher ratio of fat to water than men, making them less able to dilute alcohol in the body and they do not process alcohol as effectively.


        You can find out more about units, even try the unit calculator to see what you are really drinking.

        units.nhs.uk is worth a visit.
