The success of others
It’s wrong to be envious of the successes friends or family experience – but sometimes it’s difficult not to feel a little hard done-by.
My younger brother recently passed his practical driving test, which he is naturally very pleased about.
A good older sibling would just be happy for him…but my happiness is shrouded in jealousy.
Not only has he managed to pass at a much younger age than I did – but he managed it first time!
It took me four goes! Four! Do you know how much money that is? That’s a lot of money!
How come he only needs to pay for his test once? Oh, the unfairness of the world!
Now he’s talking about how the insurance won’t cost that much and how he’ll be buying a car soon. I don’t think so Mister! I’ve been driving a while now and I know that you won’t find cheap car insurance at your age!
Having said that – maybe he’s found a telematics policy… There weren’t any around when I first compared quotes for car insurance; I really wish there had been! Some people have all the luck!

Big up the new women drivers
A friend of mine passed her driving test today and she is soooooooo happy.
Now, I don’t want to embarrass her, but she had already had one or two attempts and I know she was getting pretty frustrated with failing on very minor issues, but today she joins the ranks of fully-fledged women drivers, and she can hold her head up high when she says:
“I PASSED!”
So, for anyone out there who has just failed their practical driving test or if you’re soon heading off for another attempt, just remember, perseverance is the key and the Highway Code is your bible.
And when you finally pass and can get into your lovely shiny car, all by yourself, to go driving wherever you want, just remember to have your CoverGirl women’s car insurance sorted before you get behind the wheel, so that you’re street legal and good to go.
CoverGirl says, “CONGRATULATIONS to all you new drivers out there &ndash: we salute you.”
And to anyone who has failed a test we say, “Keep trying, it is worth the effort.”
