Learning to drive?

Buying your ____1____car? Read on!


Learning to drive can be an expensive business unless you have a very patient mother
who is prepared to risk possible damage to her precious vehicle, or a father whose blood
____2____ can stay within reasonable limits when you don't carry out his instructions on
how to reverse into a ______3____ space, which he considers to be the size of an aircraft
hangar, but which, in reality, is no bigger than a matchbox

Rule 1: Don't involve your family in driving lessons - it's worth paying for a professional
instructor, if only for the sake of domestic harmony

Ok, so let's imagine you have now passed your test and need to buy a car. You have very
little money (because you obeyed Rule 1 and spent it all on learning to drive). There is a
multitude out there willing to lend you money, but be very careful about who you borrow
from Friends? Remember the proverb 'Before borrowing money from a friend, decide
which you need most' Relatives? They could be helpful, but they may want something in
return. You need to decide whether a car is worth all the hassle involved in having to tidy
your room every day. You could try a bank, but you will have to pay interest (the amount
of money the bank will charge for the loan), so find out how much before signing up.
Above all obey

Rule 2: If you decide to borrow from a bank, find out how much interest you will need to
pay.

So, you've now got yourself some money and it's time to choose the car. You may really
fancy that roaring red racer featured on Top Cars or have coveted that cute little car.
