A taxi driver is a professional driver who drives thousands of miles a year, they are safe, you can get in and text your mate the roof sign number, each one is registered to a name and an address.
I often gave friends lifts and they never asked me if I had a full licence, I didn't, I had failed 3 times and there I was bringing them home-- I have a full licence now but I am reluctant to give people lifts and if money changes hands then you're into a grey area with your insurance company.
I often thought about sharing a car though--- both insured, one as named driver-- I'm sure we'll all have to think of a lot of cheaper ways to do things as this recession kicks in.
My battery is so dead on my car that the lights won't even turn on--any tips- I have jump leads- just don't know what to do with them!
