After driving around town, doing various manoeuvres and the odd tiny little mistake (that always seemed like a massive one), we were both back at the test centre, and the feeling of relief and triumph after being told I’d passed was incredible. I didn’t scream or shout or cry but exhaled – deeply, elatedly.

My driving instructor joked that he was not making enough money thanks to nearly all of his recent students passing first time. He drove me home, the first time I’d ever sat as a passenger in the small car in which I learnt my driving skills.

I asked plenty of questions about my future as a motorist. Stuff that I hadn’t really wanted to ask about to avoid tempting fate - like getting car insurance.

With no immediate plans to buy a car, let alone find out about car tax, MOTs, vehicle registration. Would I have to rely on borrowing my parent’s car? Would they let me? All of these things I had no idea about. The last three months were spent simply focusing on passing my driving test, so I hadn’t considered what to do in the event of actually getting my full UK driving license.

No one was home, so I texted a few friends and family to let them know the good news. I had the rest of the day off work, so I made a cup of tea and flicked through the classifieds in the local paper. The motoring section ran to 25 pages. Car after car after van after pickup truck. I had no idea even what car to choose, apart from the fact that a small car would be an obvious and sensible choice.

Although I didn’t know much about car insurance I knew enough to know that as a new driver, there was little chance I could afford to insure the latest sports car, although I naively tried.

Working out a budget for a car seemed quite a task. I guessed that if I found a car I liked and could afford, then I could work out the car insurance by getting a quote. But there were hundreds of car insurance adverts in the yellow pages. Getting a good price seemed like it was going to take as long as getting my driving license. If only there was some easier way to find the best car insurance
