#private hire car insurance

[wildlife4life]

foaming at the mouth over the nfl au ❤️

I am honestly gobsmacked at how popular NFL Buck is considering American Football isn't the most popular around these parts. So I will never deny sharing a snippet of a much beloved fic. Here is a bit from the Ocean's 911 arc.

Eddie tries his damndest not to squirm under Hen and Chimney's annoyed glares. He shouldn't have said a word. He should have lied and said something along the lines of 'Yea my house was searched too. Was up all night cleaning.' But nope. He was honest to a fault and possibly now considered a traitor. "Why pray tell were you excluded from the search warrant?" Hen asks with a slight scowl. He clears his throat and looks anywhere but towards his fellow firefighters, "I have a good lawyer." Correction, Buck has a good lawyer and the moment he heard about the police wanting to question Eddie, Kameron's car was booked. "Uh huh. The blonde in the Armani pants suit and killer stilettos?" Hen questioned. "Mmhm. Her names Kameron Kane. Do you um, want her card? She could probably help the rest ya'll out." That earned another scowl from Hen and a snort of discontent from Chimney, "Pretty sure we can't afford the same lawyer that represents several professional athletes and other millionaires." Chim remarks. Eddie winces and grips his coffee cup tighter. Kameron was well known now a days, but when Eddie first met her, she had literally barged her way into Buck's room, drunk and bawling her eyes out about Connor, Buck's roommate at the time. She was only a first year law student and didn't even blink at seeing the future NFL star naked in bed with another man. Just stuck her clammy hand out, when she did notice Eddie and said, "I'm Kameron, Connor's-whatever. How the hell did Buck score you?" And became one of their closets friends. Evan hired Kameron the moment she passed the bar and immediately fired the lawyer on Maddie's self-defense case, replacing his misogynistic ass with Kameron. She won, made Maddie a national icon, and insured every dollar of Doug's estate went to the brave woman. Kameron's been building her empire ever since and she was a glaring link between him and Evan Buckley. So he really hoped his co-workers don't follow it to back to the quarterback. "Sorry. Honestly she told them that I really don't have much of a motive." Translation: The detectives found out during their investigation that Eddie was Evan Buckley's partner and robbing a bank for the amount of money that was missing was barely a drop compared to Buck's income. As for the diamonds, more than affordable for the millionaire quarterback (just look at Maddie's jewelry collection). The detectives probably also kept their search warrants away from Eddie after Kameron threatened to sue the entire department if even minute whisper about Evan's private relationship got out. Police showing up to the quarterback's home to search it would have been much louder.

Andreil foster home for peculiar charity cases!

Andreil foster home for peculiar charity cases PREV Sorry for taking so long have bit longer one also thanks to amazing edits from @jtl-fics <3

It wasn’t as if Andrew had forgotten that Kevin had moved across town, it was more to put a spotlight on the fact that even with the distance it still, apparently, hadn’t been far enough. Not far enough to stop waltzing into their house uninvited as if he were merely walking into another room of his own home. It had been months since he had moved out of their house and into his own when Jean had made the National team. A few months just wasn’t enough to erase habits built through the years. Routines that he had formed his life around, routines built with the help of two, slightly more functional, men. Living at the nest had robbed Kevin of many ‘common’ things. Simple joys like a long hot shower. Mundane annoyances like standing in line at the grocery store. Obvious things like the knowledge that he could just leave his house at any given moment for no reason. Sensible things like remembering to set up automatic bill payments for his insurance and his car payments.

Kevin had admitted that it hurt whenever his own father’s face twisted whenever Kevin struggled with these ‘common’ things. Wymack was a man who purposefully surrounded himself with tragedy and still was gutted every single time he saw it. Wymack agonized over every hurt kid and Kevin, now 30, was pretty tired of feeling like an injured child. So Andrew had remained Kevin’s go-to person. Most of the time Andrew didn’t even mind it. The big 2 story house with a fenced private garden was Kevin’s playground where he could learn to function and Andrew and Neil had both taken pride in being the family Kevin turned to. “…I was in the neighbourhood, so I thought that I’d make you both a healthy breakfast.” Kevin forges on with the obvious lie and Andrew’s too tired this Sunday morning to contradict him. They all knew that there was no reason for Kevin to be around. There was no ‘in the neighbourhood’ for Kevin Day a man who could only go outside if he had a task. “The closest store is an hour away Kevin.” Andrew reminds Kevin as if the man had not bitched about it mightily when he had lived there. “We could go together and get groceries?” Kevin suggests because he also knows that Sunday morning is when him and Neil usually peel themselves off one another to go buy their groceries for the week. It was funny that Kevin had clung onto this tradition more tightly than any of the others since he’d been the one who had initially put forth the idea of getting groceries delivered. Andrew and Neil had rejected the idea outright both too used to lives where they saved every penny and never wanting hired help to nose around in their private business. If Andrew set something down somewhere then he wanted to be able to categorically blame Neil if it wasn’t where he left it.

Greatest Hits of 2023

1. I got my first real job as a teacher! After about 100 applications and thirty or so failed interviews (that was fun eight months of doubting everything about myself), I was finally hired on as the choir and orchestra teacher at a nearby middle school. It has been such a whirlwind (especially seeing as I only took about six weeks of string essentials in college), and I have spent many long days crying at my desk after school. But oh, how I love my kids. They drive me crazy and crack the weirdest jokes and amaze me all at the same time. It's been a lot trying to breathe life into a dying program and I get a lot of pushback from kids who just want to sing pop karaoke all day, but they've grown so much in just one semester. It's crazy exhausting but I honestly would never want to do anything else. <3

2. Reading-I've fallen in love with audiobooks and reading real books again! I've gotten to read a variety of genres and I really feel like it's improved my writing. My favorite this year would probably have to be Eye of the Needle by Ken Follet (thanks to @puolain for the recommendation). I'm currently working through The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy and Red Sparrow by Jason Matthews.

3. Travel- I had the opportunity to go to NYC for the first time ever and met some really wonderful friends! I really haven't been able to go anywhere else, but my husband and I are saving up to go to Spain in the coming months!

4. Writing-I've been delving more into chaptered fics as opposed to one-shots, and I'm been enjoying it! It takes a lot more planning and dedication, but that urge to write an original work someday is always on the back of my mind. We'll see :)

5. Piano-I've never been the best pianist, but this year has given me time to really go from the plateau I've been stuck on for the last five years and I finally feel like I'm making some progress again. I'm excited to actually start accompanying my choirs instead of faking it with block chords most of the time.

6. I've really built up my private voice studio this year and it's growing quite nicely. It's kind of fun to teach middle schoolers during the day and then private high schoolers in the afternoon.

7. I was invited to join a semi-professional choir by a few of my colleagues, and it's been such a joy! We've gotten to sing at some beautiful cathedrals and were invited to sing at our state's choral festival alongside some collegiate choirs. Next season's looking to be pretty busy, and the first year we'll be paid to sing!

8. I had to do a lot of first-time "grown-up" things this year (apply for insurance and retirement, bought a new car, first time with a salary-based job, etc), and while part of me longs for that safety net of college, it's exciting to actually start my career and begin the next stage of my life.

9. I've been Journaling a lot more this year! It really helps me get my thoughts out at the end of the day.

10. My husband and I will be celebrating our three-year annivesary in May. He is such a nerd and likes to take me on walks to see exposed infrastructure, but he is such a good man and I'm excited to see where life takes us next.

Bonus: I'm hoping to really be kind to myself and my students in 2024. Being a new teacher is very overwhelming, especially as I'm the youngest teacher in the school and it's been hard not to beat myself up over every bad day. But next year also holds the promise of always learning something new and sharing it with the people I love <3

It’s always one thing after another wtf

-my mom finally found her little brother after 20 years of looking for him (using private investigators and everything) but the reason she found him…. Is bc he now needs to urgently get his leg amputated but he doesn’t have health insurance or money so he finally came crawling back so now we need to quickly raise funds for him (none of us have money) and now we all need to emotionally and financially deal with a mentally disturbed physically huge and strong man in pain who can no longer coherently speak

-I only have maybe 6k or 7k saved (FML exchange rate…) and already told these two girls I would move in with them in New York… I was counting on getting and using CNY money from my parents but now all our money needs to go to my uncle so T___T I need to back out but I feel so bad and it’s such a good place too I don’t want to back out 😭

-the whole reason I left j*pan is to move to new yuck but now I think the responsible thing to do is live at home, get some random job at target or something (bc I don’t have a car so I can’t drive to any work locations so I can only work in my unwalkable suburb ^___^) and save all my minimum wage + savings to help pay for my uncle’s stuff

-my uncle needs a caretaker so my mom would need to quit her job to do that… (I can’t do it bc my uncle and I don’t speak the same language) but my mom is 60 so she’ll never be able to get hired again if she quits so from now on I have to be the breadwinner of this family oh my fucking God… I always knew this day would come but I didn’t know it would come so soon and so early in my nonexistent career???

What the hell why did I quit my job and move home everything is going as WRONG as possible I wished I stayed in Japan wtf 😭😭😭

[mistydeyes]

hey, i wanted to ask for a cod mw2 pairing if possible

I’m black (dark skinned) and around 5’7. I am plus sized but do try to be active in the pool. I normally wear glasses since that’s what i’m used to but I will wear contacts depending on what im doing that day or if i want to be extra with my makeup. My natural hair is either braided back or in twists so i can have a break from long braids or twists. I do have a decent collection of wigs which i try to take care of.

I am very smiley to the point where it’s stuck on my face. I care deeply for those im close with and my family. I am trying to build self confidence but I never let someone random try and ruin my day. I really like reading, listening to music, cooking/baking, and learning about anything (chemistry, embroidery, music production, etc).

For my future, i am hoping to become a foreign service officer or work for the cia as i study international relations and my current foreign language i’m taking is Chinese. I want to do that for a while and then transition to teaching as a way to inspire kids and help them understand intersectionality in daily life.

For my ideal partner, I would like someone who can just understand me. I love quality time and just enjoying each other’s company. I also have a huge habit of spoiling others and wanting to be spoiled almost every month. I also prefer talking in person as that feels more intimate than texting (unless we’ve been together for a while then texting is fine)

thank you for when ever you get to this!!!!

Phillip Graves (a/n BRO this man has such husband potential if he wasn't an absolute asshole but anon you sound like the coolest person ever and I hope that everything goes well with your major!)

How you met: Government "Morning, agent," the front guard greeted as you underwent security, "got a new wig I see." "You know it, have to use my government salary for something," you joked before entering the elevator. Working for the CIA had its perks, while you enjoyed a cushy salary, the amazing health insurance, and loan forgiveness, you were never able to have a great relationship outside of work. People got a little too nosy when on dates you told them you worked in the "private sector." The doors of the elevator began to close before a hand reached out to stop it. A blonde man who looked like he was more fit to be on a modeling shoot stepped in with a smile. "Looks like we're going to the same floor," he commented and stood next to you as the elevator ascended. You stood in the peaceful silence before he spoke up again. "Didn't know the government hired such gorgeous employees," he flirted and you smiled a little bit wider. "I'm sure they looked at my resume and not my face," you replied as you looked up at him. You couldn't deny he was handsome but you had been down this road before with other DC boys that weren't worth your time. "Well with a face like yours, I'm sure you come highly decorated." God this man was a smooth talker. As you came closer to your destination, he sighed dreamily. "The name's Phillip, hope to see you around, doll face," he winked at you before exiting. It wasn't until later that day when you entered a debrief with your superiors that you saw Phillip's blue eyes light up as you sat down and return his gaze.

A peek into your relationship: Anniversaries were the gift giving Olympics for you and Phillip. Every year you tried to one-up the other. Last year, you took the cake by giving him a sports car that he dreamed of ever since he became the CEO of the Shadow Company. You knew this year, he would be trying to outdo you. What you weren't expecting was being showered with gifts the day before your 5th anniversary. After a long day analyzing some Chinese intel, you entered your Georgetown apartment to the scent of thousands of roses. "Surprise, sweetheart," your boyfriend greeted as he kissed you gently. "Philip I thought our anniversary was tomorrow," you exclaimed as he pulled you into his arms. "Doesn't mean I can't spoil you today," he replied, "Now get dressed, I have something special prepared for you." Your laughter echoes through the hallway as you entered your bedroom. On the bed lay a dress that looked like it was spun from pure gold. You gasped as you put the silky fabric on and saw how it complimented your skin. Underneath the dress was a matching purse, an expensive brand you had only dreamed of owning. You opened it as you exited the hallway and saw a small white box on the inside. You delicately opened it as you made your way back to Graves. You could only hold a hand over your mouth as you saw a beautiful gold ring, adorned with crystals in an extravagant baguette shape. "Surprise gorgeous," Phillip replied before getting down on one knee. You hand to hand it to him, he gave you the best gift you could ever want.

Lucas x MC

Enemies to lovers? I tried, homie.

Rosalia Edwards had not been having a good day. She was scheduled to interview a new candidate for the open slot in her roster and not only had she woken up late, but her coffee maker broke. Then her car wouldn’t start and she missed the trolley which led to her running through the streets of Oxford. She had to wait at every light for the the signal to go, and as soon as she could finally see her office coming into view, she was startled to fall back from her step forward by a motorbike running over her foot. “Oh bloody-“

“I’m sorry!” The driver shouted, pulling off his helmet as he hurriedly pulled over beside her.

But Rosalia was already done with the day, so she ignored the apology, “You bloody daft- don’t you look where you’re going?”

“Can I take you to the hospital or something? Please, what can I do?”

“Nothing!” She winced, limping around him, “I’m already late!”

Rosalia hurried into her office, calling in one of the medical staff to check over her foot, and she was relieved to see she’d made it in with ten minutes before the interview. Once she was wrapped up and advised to ice it later, she sagged into her desk chair out of relief it wasn’t broken. Still, she was annoyed that she wouldn’t be able to get her caffeine before meeting the candidate for her open position, so she settled with pulling out his file. Lucas Koh. Physiotherapist. His references and education were the best she’d ever seen, especially for the relatively small client base they handled, mostly those with low income that couldn’t afford private insurance. Applicants with his kind of resume weren’t looking for such a low paying position, even the ones fresh out of school expected to make better money. But he had applied with her clinic, probably as a stepping stone to have experience listed for a new job elsewhere but she planned to take what she could get.

What she didn’t plan was seeing an infuriatingly familiar face being guided into her office five minutes before the interview started. Still, she was a professional. “I’m sorry, I’m meeting with a potential employment prospect in a few minutes, so if you needed something, I’ll need to direct you to one of my associates.”

She watched as he sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck, “Yes, ma’am, uh, I realize this morning probably led us off on the wrong foot, but I’m here for the interview.” He cringed at the choice of words.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, “You are Lucas Koh?” His lips pressed in a thin line as he gave her a nod.

The man who ran over her foot this morning was the same man that was overqualified for the position he was applying for. The man she desperately needed to hire for her patients. Oh, fuck her life.

Rosalia was not going to let her patients suffer, but she also didn’t want to hire someone that couldn’t pay attention to something as serious as pedestrians while driving.

So while she did hire him, she kept one eye on him at all times while he was with a patient.

Lucas could deal with that. He understood why she would be hesitant. He ignored the sense of insecurity it gave him. He knew how to do his job, and he knew he could do it well, so he just needed to wait until she could see that.

It took three months before she stopped watching over his shoulder. Three months of surveys with patients, double checking his notes in files, but Rosalia was finally accepting that it had been a bad first impression that she was holding over his head. She was actually starting to enjoy his company as the days went on. Instead of studiously sitting in her office at lunch, she would go down to the break room and share a table with him like she had the other employees when they were new. Instead of criticizing every note he made, she started letting him know he was doing good work. Instead of scheduling his appointments for the worst times in a social life, she started scheduling them for reasonable times. Instead of glaring at him, they started sharing smiles.

She hated to admit that when she wasn’t actively trying to hate him, she was realizing how much of a catch he was. Both a catch for her clinic, and he could be a catch in a romantic aspect if she ever got over her pride and chose to acknowledge the feelings budding in her chest. Rosalia saw Lucas’s kindness. His optimism and loyalty and humor. She finally saw him.

And then she got the call she’d been expecting, but was terrified of when it was coming. A larger, high scale clinic in the city was calling about a certain physiotherapist that had applied to their facility.

Rosalia had a choice. She could sabotage the reference. She could tell them he ran late to work. Tell them he got snippy with patients, didn’t know how to fill out files.

Or she could tell them the truth.

So she answered their questions. Told the director of the clinic that he was the most skilled physiotherapist she’d ever worked with, how he won the loyalty and affection of his patients with ease, how he was selfless and helpful to his coworkers.

When she finally hung up, she knew he had the job. That knowledge set a burning feeling in her gut, and with it she stormed out of her office.

Lucas’s head snapped up from his paperwork when his office door slammed shut, “Dr. Edwards?” When he remembered they were alone in the office, his voice turned softer than his professional tone, “Rosalia, are you alright?”

“Were you going to put in your two week notice at least?” She bit out. Rosalia wasn’t even sure why her voice was so vicious, but she could feel the anger burning in her face and knew that if it could it would be turning red in her fury.

His brow furrowed, “Put in my two weeks for what?”

She barked out a humorless laugh, “Orenthal Clinic? Did you already forget you applied?”

“Orenthal…” his forehead pinched in concentration before the recognition lit his eyes, “I did apply there. But what’s brought this up?”

She could’ve scoffed at the confusion in his voice. Why did he think she was bringing it up? But instead she asked her own question. “If they hadn’t called, would you have even told me?” Lucas finally stood up from his desk as the anger burned out for something else Rosalia wasn’t ready to identify.

As he crossed the space between them, posing himself on the edge of his desk only a foot away so the wood no longer stood between them, he crossed his arms, “I did apply there. Months ago. I didn’t want your dislike for me to disrupt your clinic- I could see the stiffness it brought to you when you talked to patients and everyone said you weren’t like that before. I thought it would’ve been easier for you if I left.”

“But the patients love you!” She argued, “You were just going to abandon them?”

“No! Never!” His eyes widened, “I planned on utilizing those odd hours you gave me at the beginning to work around the new clinic schedule so I could still help them.”

“So you were just abandoning me.” The statement caught him off guard, but it seemed to surprise her just as much. Suddenly the feeling she didn’t want to identify had a name. Betrayal.

Immediately, Rosalia was turning to leave. She hadn’t planned to say that, she hadn’t plan to feel that way, and she didn’t want to be there when he shot her down. Lucas had other plans, catching her arm quickly before she could make it to the door, “Whoa, whoa. Please, just talk to me. I was going to change facilities to help you. You didn’t like me.”

“No! I didn’t! You ran me over! But-“ she threw her hands up as much as she could while he still held her elbow.

“But what?”

“But you had to be so you!” She shot out. “You had to be so charming and nice and polite and what the hell was I supposed to do? Just hate you so I looked like a crazy person to everyone else?”

“So…you don’t hate me because other people don’t hate me?”

“I don’t hate you because I like you!” They both froze, for only a second. She took the opportunity to yank her arm away, storming out of his office and to the car park as quickly as she could. She wouldn’t be able to avoid the conversation forever, but she figured she might at least be able to avoid it for now.

She was wrong. She hadn’t even made it to her car before Lucas had shaken himself from his stupor and caught up. “Rosalia! Wait, please!”

“No! Just forget it- forget I said anything! The Orenthal Clinic will be great for you- you’ve talked about the Doctors Without Borders thing before. They’ll help you get there! Don’t worry about this place. It’s survived without you before and it can-“

“Rosalia. Please.” He interrupted, gently catching hold of her hand and tugging her to a stop, “I don’t want to leave this place. I really just…I don’t want to leave you. I understand why you didn’t like me at first. I understand why you were hesitant. But when you started to actually trust me to do my job, when you started to open up with me- it made me realize how special this place really is.” Slowly, like he was afraid she’d run away again if he moved too fast, Lucas intertwined their fingers, “You made this clinic knowing you’d be spending more to keep it running than you made. You brought life into it and made it a safe place for patients that wouldn’t be able to get help otherwise. That’s the kind of work I want to be a part of. That’s the kind of help I want to give. I only applied somewhere else because I didn’t want to be a hindrance to you, I applied there before your opinion of me started to change. But I never to leave here. I never wanted to leave you.”

“So…if you aren’t leaving…what now?”

“Well, tomorrow I’ll be checking with HR about the policies here about inter office dating,” they chuckled together, “but maybe you’ll still let me take you to dinner tonight?”

Rosalia was quiet for a long moment, eyes tracing over every inch of Lucas’s face as if she needed to assess the sincerity, “Yeah. Okay.”

Later, while they were sat at a table eating Chinese and laughing at something that had happened to a coworker, Lucas got the call. Looking Rosalia in the eye with a smile, he turned down their offer, stating that he was at exactly where he wanted to be.

yknow, I really HATE the snide comments on posts about older learner or P plate drivers, here in aus, when they get into accident by simple error. like the other day, I saw a news story about a P plater who accidentally flipped their car onto its roof, while trying to practice parking at a busy beach (bc it was during a hot day).

however, no one had any like empathy or sympathy for the person, who was 30, apparently. "oh. they're a 30 YEAR OLD P PLATER????? that says it ALL doesn't it??? maybe don't be a deadbeat and get your licence earlier???" and "who can't park at a busy beach during a hot day???? did they NOT learn how to park at all during driving lessons??? take their licence away, they don't deserve to drive ever again!!!!" or "who the hell is a P plater AT 30??? get with the times and get your licence as a teen like a normal person!!!! so you're NOT a burden to everyone else!!!"

like im still to read the article. but I feel so much for this person. I only got my Ps in 2019.... at 23/24. I only got off my Ps last november (2022), at 27. I've talked on many posts about my struggles around getting my licence (ie too much anxiety and depression in 2011 and late high school- the perceived "only right time"- to go for my Ls and Ps) and troubles with driving teachers and uni and me having to pay for ALL of my lessons out of own pocket.... and also my parent never wanting to teach me.... bc I was too anxious for them as well, so you might as well just push all off on a driving school anyway.

so yeah me getting my licence was a fucking mess. I HATED myself for getting it so late etc etc. but even on my full licence, earlier this year, i made a stupid asf error right before I left my old job.

basically, a week before I left that job, I had a MASSIVE crash in my works private parking lot. I went up the ramp to the upper level for shade, bc it was a hot day and my car would be cooler at the end of the day (not by much, obvs, but a bit) than me parking on the bottom floor, away from everyone in the sun).... I accidentally scraped on side of my car on one of the concrete pillars. I panicked, stupidly really. what's a little dent on my car??? lmao. anyway. I reversed out of those pillars, trying to fix the position of my car. however, in doing that, I accidentally pressed the accelerator and went zooming (low speed but downhill, terrible combination) down the ramp, and smashed my entire back window, boot (trunk, for americans) and a bit of the right side panel of my car (which the repairs were kind enough to replace the entirety of actually).... also they had to bc thag entire back tyre was ripped off. my exhaust was leaking too.

obvs my old work sent me home that day (thank FUCK) , and I had a hire car through my insurance for nearly 3 months. I got landed with an extra $400 excess for being an "inexperienced driver" bc I'd only had my full licence for 5 months at that point, instead of 2 years. but it's just that easy to make a dumb fuckup mistake.

and no, when it came to learning how to park with both my parent and the driving school.... I didn't get much time learn. I did like 10 mins in one lesson with the driving school on actual parking in a parking lot.... bc that shit didn't matter in the P plate test... only the stupid asf kerb side reverse park (or whatever the fuck it's called) got assessed in the test.... and I fucking resented that SO MUCH.... bc it's the part I ALWAYS forgot the steps to and always did in like 20 steps, instead of the required 3 to 5. the end of test parking in the spot at service nsw (ie the dmv in my state of aus) doesn't get marked.

my parent just straight up refused to teach me parking (and pretty esp the curb side tbh). instead, they tried to tell me that middle-aged american and canadian men (most usually... and none of them were driving instructors- just randos) with go pros were a better resource to learn parking from.... when like THEY DRIVE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE FUCKING ROAD TO AUSTRALIA????? "all you have to do is watch that video before we go put to practice and swap it around in your head??? it's that easy!" no it's not???? how the fuck am I meant to reverse the direction in my head???? it literally makes fuck all sense.

moreover, I feel like it's just australia's laziness on having resources for learner drivers. like not one aussie driving school, while I was trying to get my licence, had instructional videos on how to do a reverse park, how to park normally, and how to do parallels parking. there was ONE British guy. ONE. and not even from australia. everything else was flooded by americans and canadians. like guys, I like you. but trying to learn how to park from Brad in a Walmart parking lot in Texas or mark in Omaha in a walgreens parking lot.... or Tommy from Saskatchewan or Ben from Ontario, both videos from a Tim Horton's parking lot (sorry, it's the only canadian brand that I know lol).... who are all driving and parking from the right side of the road.... DOES NOT help a very confused and anxious learner driver in AUSTRALIA who DRIVES ON THE LEFT, with learning how to park safely or well. under stress, or just even normally for me, it was IMPOSSIBLE to swap the direction around mentally, as I was actively trying to learn to park.

but my point is, the age of the P plate driver has NOTHING to do with the fact that they accidentally flipped their car while trying to park in a stressful situation. they weren't lazy or a burden for getting their licence late. the situation i crashed my car in wasn't even stressful... I was just an anxious, almost sleepless mess at that old job. I accidentally freaked myself out by slightly scratching my car bc I have shit parking and direction skills in that particular parking lot.

my age, 27, and the person in the news story's age, 30 HAS NOTHING TO DO with driving ability and apparently "needing their licence taken off them." I was practically forced to get my licence and buy my car (eventually) to be better considered for jobs.... since NO ONE wants to hire someone without a car and licence these days. like I was so lucky my old job was right across from a bus stop and that they hired me using the bus.

every other place I tried basically automatically tossed me out in the application stage, when I dared to answer "I use public transport" or "I don't have access to my own vehicle." even though HR at my old work kept telling me that employers can't assess or discriminate against that. but they do, ashley, they do. and I KNOW... esp since I've always been interested in doing events. and doing events work is IMPOSSIBLE without a car due to wack ass hours. also, I actively got denied a marketing internship in business college in 2014. all bc the bus took an hour and a half, instead of 25 to 30 mins by car. so don't you dare tell me that workplaces don't discriminate towards lack of transportation (even if they can't say it directly to the applicant) bc some places definitely do.

so I imagine that the above, and the other obstacles I've mentioned in this post, are what probably led to this 30 year P plater getting their licence so late (unless of course they got downgraded bc they had road offences.... but idk bc I still haven't actually read the article lol). but assuming the best of the person in the story, it was an honest, anxious mistake to flip their car while trying to park that day at that beach... like, okay. it's obvs not a small mistake; bc they did flip their goddamned car upside down....

but in stress, you can make stupid ass mistakes, just like I did in march..... and imo that doesn't call for someone to LOSE THEIR LICENCE and be thoroughly condescended to.... all bc some fucking asshole on the internet is all fucking rude about "OH A 30 YO P PLATER???? THAT SAYS IT ALL!!!! they were too lazy to do this important thing YEARS AGO as a teenager, and now they're making our roads unsafe with this!!!! rescind their licence now!!! they're entirely unfit to drive! or at least go back to driving school, darling. so maybe you'll remember your mistakes of safety!!!"

like, brenda or quincey. I highly doubt you've NEVER made a mistake while driving??? or accidentally hit someone???? or maybe you'd be like the middle aged lady I accidentally hit back in july, who tried to force me to stand in a busy local highway intersection FOR AN HOUR ON THE PHONE witb my insurance to report.... so she had PHYSICAL PROOF that I'd done it... bc she was thoroughly convinced that I was lying that I had insurance bc (A.) I dont have an insurance card like she dod.... bc im sure that's a legacy thing, and I've only had my car for a year, so that meant to her that I was a LIAR.... and (B.) I'm young, so then that automatically means that I'm a liar and will never report to insurance that I'd fucked up.... then this woman had the gall to report the incident 3 DAYS LATER (I'm assuming).... after INSISTING I had to do it instantly in front of HER EYES only for truthful reporting all while saying "you BETTER get this FIXED for ME bc my husband has just died".

like thanks, geraldine. but at this point, I don't fucking care about your dead husband. just let me report this accident in peace AT HOME AWAY from you, breathing down my neck saying every 2 seconds that "young people ALWAYS lie to me... so YOU'RE A LIAR and will dupe me out of my deserved repairs. repair it FOR ME NOW! YOU BETTER DO IT WHILE I WATCH, OR YOU WILL RUN OFF ON ME!! I KNOW THIS!!!!" but anyway. I digress. my point is that the people commenting on age sound exactly this rude ass woman, insisting that the older age of the P plater in this story has everything to do with the accident, and NOTHING to do with stress and anxiety around driving.

like ok. I'll admit picking a busy time to practice parking, probs isn't the best decision. but also. if you don't practice parking at busy times EVER, you're just never going to go anywhere during peak busy periods of the day.... much like I do. I never go to the beach in summer bc I hate jockeying for spots. I wait til like 4 to 6 pm to go do some shopping bc then I have less chance of accidentally hitting someone (a car obvs) while backing out.... and am more likely to have an empty spot to drive straight into.

I purposely pick the emptier outside parking lot at one particular local shopping centre, all bc I know if I park like shit (ie accidentally park over half into another spot) I can just leave it like that, bc I have fuck all idea of how to correct it tbh. as long as no one parks RIGHT NEXT TO ME, I'm fine lmao. and that's a problem in summer, when it's like 45⁰C (like 100+⁰F).... so I should really try to park in the overly busy undercover parking, for respite, when i get back to my car. I actively avoid ever driving to sydney bc of this as well. I'll never be able to handle sydney suburbia driving.... let alone the whole ass different beast that is CBD sydney driving is (lol im driving straight into the harbour to avoid any type of city parking and parking fees etc).

anyway yeah. I just wish people had more empathy and sympathy these days when people have a kinda dumb accident like this..... instead of instantly calling for the person to lose their licence.... and also insisting that its all to do with someone getting their licence much later than the perceived "correct and proper" time of 16 to 19.

This flexibility is particularly valuable for travelers who may have tight schedules or specific needs regarding pickup and drop-off locations.

2. Comfort and Privacy

Taxis provide a more comfortable and private travel experience compared to other modes of transportation. With spacious seating, air conditioning, and the ability to control the journey's pace, taxis ensure a more relaxed ride.

2. Vehicle Options

Taxi services typically offer a range of vehicle options, from standard sedans to luxury cars and SUVs. Depending on your preferences and budget, you can select a vehicle that best suits your comfort level and needs. For a long journey, you might prefer a more spacious and comfortable option to ensure a pleasant ride.

3. Check Pricing and Packages

Pricing is a crucial factor when choosing a taxi service. Most companies offer fixed rates for long-distance trips, which can help you avoid unexpected costs. Additionally, some services offer package deals that include amenities like tolls, fuel, and driver’s accommodation. Be sure to inquire about all potential charges and confirm the total cost before finalizing your booking.

4. Verify Safety and Reliability

Safety is paramount when selecting a taxi service. Ensure that the company you choose has a strong safety record, well-maintained vehicles, and professional drivers. Many reputable companies provide GPS tracking for added security and offer insurance coverage in case of any unforeseen events during your journey.

What to Expect During Your Journey

1. The Route and Scenic Views

The route from Lucknow to Delhi primarily follows the National Highway 30, which connects these two major cities. The journey takes you through a diverse landscape, offering glimpses of rural and urban India. Depending on the time of day and season, you might enjoy scenic views of fields, small towns, and historical landmarks.

2. Traffic Conditions

Traffic conditions can vary significantly depending on the time of day, weather, and roadworks. Peak hours, especially during weekends and holidays, may result in longer travel times. It’s a good idea to discuss the estimated travel time with your driver and plan for potential delays. For a smoother journey, consider leaving early in the morning or late in the evening.

3. Refreshments and Breaks

For a journey as long as Lucknow to Delhi, regular breaks are essential. Most professional taxi services accommodate this need, offering scheduled stops for refreshments, restroom breaks, and stretching your legs. Discuss your preferences with your driver to ensure that breaks are planned according to your comfort.

Tips for a Smooth Taxi Experience

1. Book in Advance

To secure the best rates and availability, it’s advisable to book your taxi service well in advance. This is particularly important during peak travel seasons or if you have specific requirements for your vehicle or travel time.

2. Communicate Your Needs

Effective communication with your taxi service provider can enhance your travel experience. Inform them of any special requests, such as extra luggage, specific pickup or drop-off locations, or any additional amenities you might need. Clear communication helps ensure that your journey is tailored to your preferences.

3. Keep Essentials Handy

Prepare for the journey by keeping essentials such as identification, tickets, snacks, and any medications easily accessible. Having a fully charged phone and a power bank can also be helpful, especially for longer trips.

4. Stay Informed

Stay updated on weather conditions and traffic reports before and during your journey. This information can help you make informed decisions about your travel and adjust your plans if necessary.

Conclusion

Traveling from Lucknow to Delhi by taxi offers a comfortable, flexible, and personalized experience that enhances your journey.

Interior: Examine the seats, dashboard, and carpets for wear, stains, or damage. Test all electronics, including lights, air conditioning, and the sound system.

Engine: Look for any signs of leaks, corrosion, or worn belts. The engine should be free of strange noises when running.

Tyres and Brakes: Ensure the tyres have even wear and sufficient tread. Test the brakes for any grinding noises or vibrations.

If you’re not confident in assessing these areas yourself, consider hiring a professional mechanic to conduct a pre-purchase inspection.

Take a Test Drive

A test drive is essential to evaluate the car’s performance and comfort. During the drive, pay attention to how the car handles, accelerates, and brakes. Listen for any unusual noises, such as clunking or squealing, and check how smoothly the transmission shifts. Test the Coffs Harbour used cars for sale on various road types—highways, city streets, and rougher terrains—to get a full sense of its capabilities.

Check the Mileage

Mileage is a significant factor in determining a used car's value and lifespan. While modern vehicles can last well over 100,000 miles with proper maintenance, lower mileage is generally preferable as it indicates less wear and tear. However, don’t dismiss a higher-mileage car if it has been well-maintained and comes at a lower price point.

Evaluate the Car’s Maintenance Records

Ask the seller for the car’s maintenance records. A well-maintained car is likely to have fewer issues in the future. Regular oil changes, tyre rotations, and other routine services indicate that the previous owner took good care of the vehicle. Be cautious of cars without any service history, as this may signal neglect.

Understand the Ownership Costs

Before finalising your purchase, consider the total cost of Coffs Harbour car dealers ownership. This includes insurance, taxes, registration, fuel efficiency, and potential repair costs. Some used cars may have higher maintenance costs due to their age, rarity, or condition. It’s also wise to research the car’s fuel economy, as this will affect your ongoing expenses.

Negotiate the Price

Once you’ve done your research and inspected the car, you’ll be in a strong position to negotiate. Use the information you’ve gathered on the car’s condition, market value, and any potential repair costs to make a fair offer. Don’t be afraid to walk away if the seller isn’t willing to meet your price—there are plenty of other cars on the market.

Consider Financing Options

If you’re not paying for the car outright, explore your financing options. Some dealerships offer in-house financing, but it’s often beneficial to secure a loan through a bank or credit union, where you might get better terms. Make sure you understand the loan’s interest rate, term, and any additional fees.

Summing Up

Buying Coffs Harbour used cars for sale requires careful consideration and research. By taking the time to evaluate your options, inspect the vehicle thoroughly, and understand the total cost of ownership, you can find a reliable car that fits your budget and needs. Remember, patience and due diligence are your best allies in making a smart purchase that you’ll be happy with for years to come.
