Classic Car Insurance Assess the Decision to Make Classic Cars Exempt from MOT Tests

Following recent news that the government has decided to make classic cars exempt from the MOT test, the team at Classic Car Insurance have assessed the effect likely to be hand on their customers.

Essex, United Kingdom (prHWY.com) May 25, 2012 - Following recent news that the government has decided to make classic cars exempt from the MOT test, the team at Classic Car Insurance have assessed the effect likely to be hand on their customers.

It has been announced that transport minister Mike Penning has made plans to scrap MOT tests for owners of classic cars built before 1960. Through their price comparison site, the insurance experts at Classic Car Insurance specialise in allowing their customers access to a wide range of insurance providers to assist them in finding the best policies for their vintage motors. Upon hearing this news, a member of the team has evaluated why this new scheme has been put in place and how it is likely to affect users to their site.

"The new changes set to come into force on November 18th are expected to apply to an astounding 162,000 cars still on our roads in the UK. We've looked at why this decision has been taken and what people are likely to gain from it."

* The primary thinking behind the new idea is that it is believed that generally speaking, classic and vintage cars are in a better state of repair than most modern cars. With two thirds of classic cars being driven less than 500 miles a year and an accident rate lower than the national average, the new plan has been deemed part of a larger scheme to scrap a number of rules that are outdated or unnecessary. The team at Classic Car Insurance have explained that their customers who own vintage cars and have taken care to maintain their quality should look to benefit from this towards the end of the year.

* Classic Car Insurance are expecting the new plan to save drivers with classic and vintage vehicles a considerable amount of money. Those who keep vintage motors do not tend to drive them as far or as often as everyday vehicles, and annual MOT tests for cars travelling such a short distance can still be really costly.

* However, the team are also keen to warn drivers of the implications of the decision to stop annual MOT tests. As the test is in place fundamentally for safety reasons, it is more important now than ever for owners of classic cars to check their cars regularly for any problems. Although accidents and injuries involving these kinds of cars are rare, they do happen.

Classic Car Insurance was established with an aim to allow customers to browse classic and vintage car insurance prices quickly and efficiently. The trusted and approved agency offers instant quotes, directly to the customer, from hundreds of companies across the country.
