CAR INSURANCE PREMIUMS
My late model 5 star safety rated Mazda is used once a month, does approximately 1000kms per year, and is garaged securely.
The premium goes up every year, and the replacement value goes down.
It is costing me far more to insure the car, than it costs to run it.
I daren't just have third party because that would be tempting fate, and replacement would be too expensive.
I need the car to visit family out of town twice a year.
Anyone got any sensible alternative suggestions on insurance?
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
