Car Insurance Expert at Confused.com, Alex Kindred says: “The general running costs and maintenance of driving a vehicle can be expensive. Our latest research found that this year, nearly 1 in 4 (24%) of motorists are willing to sacrifice a vehicle service so that they save a bit of money. An MOT is a legal requirement and is there to protect all road users. Motorists found without a valid MOT could be faced with a £2,500 fine and three penalty points. There’s also the risk of a possible driving ban and invalidating car insurance, potentially leaving drivers without cover. It’s important for motorists to keep on top of their vehicle maintenance, such as servicing and repairs. Failing to do so could result in an MOT failure. But motorists don’t need to worry. Our guide on how to pass your MOT gives more information on what to expect and why it’s so important not to ignore tests.” For more information please visit: www. confused.com/car-insurance/guides/ ensure-you-pass-your-mot-check A Day in Iran as a Housewife Langley WI’s next meeting is on Tuesday 15th November when Sandra Simmons will give a talk titled ‘A Day in Iran as a Housewife’. e WI o ers women the opportunity to make new friends, learn new skills and campaign on wide-ranging issues.
