Warning: short term car insurance can seriously damage your relationships!

David Carter was always a very impulsive man.

It was the day before he was due to take his girlfriend Sue off on a holiday of a lifetime, and they were both hoping that this would be the trip that would cement their relationship together properly. So, as a sensible girl, Sue was busy packing all the necessities for the trip into one suitcase, making a wonderful job of squeezing not only the day-to-day clothing, her cosmetics, David's snorkel gear, and all the formal wear they would need into one case; David on the other hand was bored out of his mind and when a friend suggested that they went along together to the local car auction just to see what was going on he jumped at the chance and half an hour later they were strolling round looking at the hardware together! David's eye was caught by a nifty little Mazda MX five; it looked clean, the engine sounded good and the mileage was quite low for its year. Still, he thought, there's no way he could afford it; but being a competitive type of guy he didn't see why he should join in the fun and at least make a bid! It must be one of those days when all the professionals had stayed its own and everyone else was either bored or spent up, because the ridiculous price that he bid on ended up being the top one, the auctioneers hammer came down and he was the proud owner of probably the cheapest MX five in history! Only one problem; how on earth was he going to get it home? He couldn't insure it tomorrow because he would be on his way down to Southampton; and he certainly wasn't going to risk his licence by driving it without a legal insurance policy! Like a sensible man he picked up his mobile phone, found a quiet corner and confessed all to Sue who, once she had got over her initial shock, pulled out the laptop computer on her desk, logged on to the Internet, and booked a single day's short term car insurance for David within a matter of minutes, and for just a few pounds! She rang David back, informed him that he was now fully covered (albeit just third party only; Sue wanted her money available for the holiday) so he was able to jump in the car and drive it back without fear of getting nabbed by the law and possibly losing his driving licence!

The car was parked up in his garage, the two of them went off for a wonderful two weeks holiday, and on his return David had all the time in the world to search for a suitable inexpensive twelve-month (and fully comprehensive) insurance policy for his new pride and joy.

Did the holiday cement their relationship? Nope, David found a new girlfriend within a few days of getting back home at a Mazda owners rally; like I said at the beginning, he was always a very impulsive man!
