There is a myth that says men drive better than women. This video compilation is all about the ladies in the driver’s seat. Some are just outright outrageous, like the 4 minute parking scene where she clearly had too much space to fail that parking spot.
However, there are some situations there that are a little closer to heart. Have you ever entered a parking garage and find that you’re 5 inches off reach the ticket machine? You’re too scared to drive too close to the booth because you’re afraid you might hit it but you always end up stepping out of the car to get the ticket. Driving a stick shift, I always have that constant fear that the car will jump forward when I step out of the car. And apparently it did for the lady in the video.
Ladies, make sure your car has proper insurance. Visit our car insurance page to see which car insurance package is right for you.
Who doesn’t love a funny video about everyday pets doing incredibly bizzare things?
Contrary to popular belief, and childhood morning cartoons, this cat shows the dog who’s boss!
I’m more of a dog person; dogs are simple creatures. You feed them, play ball with them and rub their tummies and they’re happy. Cats…not so much. Cats always look so suspicious and their silent presence always make you feel like they’re watching you. Dogs are always happy to see you no matter what time of day it is whilst cats don’t even greet you. I’ve always seemed to think that cats have some weird ulterior motives and are just waiting for the day they can ruin your lives.
Okay, I’m exaggerating but still I really don’t like cats.
Poor dog…you can’t help but feel sorry for bulldogs, I think it’s got something to do with the wrinkles on their face.
Make sure your Dog is insured just in case it meets Tyson the Cat!

Top tips for insuring your pet:
1. Watch out for exclusions
Always read your policy carefully, and check to see what is excluded.
2. Choose a high excess
As with all insurance policies, the higher excess you’re willing to pay, the lower the cost of the yearly premium.
3. Only insure for things that can financially kill you
Make sure your policy covers claims for your pet being in an accident or falling ill. Pay for routine treatment out of your pocket.

According to Canstar Cannex, the award acknowledges 1300 Insurance’s quality insurance product and competitive pricing in the medical travel insurance category.

“We have only been offering travel insurance for the last three years and are very excited about winning this award. It’s a great achievement and shows our Budget insurance product is very competitive in terms of price and cover.
“What this award also shows is that low-cost insurers can still deliver exceptionally high quality products. And winning this award also cements our decision to choose Mondial Assistance as our travel insurance provider”.

Did you know that nearly 65% of couples fight on a long car trip?
Recent surveys carried out in Britain showed that the car was one of the top locations that people had arguments.
Reasons that the arguments were sparked included blaming the navigation and driving skills of others, getting lost, and whether the car was going too fast or moving too erratically.
Also, one in five couples squabble over the choice of music or radio station.
The complete list is as follows -
Whilst the right car insurance won’t solve the problem of your car being a top location for a fight, it can make peace of mind a little easier knowing you are protected against the unexpected.
