Many car insurance policies are still sold on an annual basis. However, to accommodate the growing trend for flexibility required by drivers today, insurance cover can now be secured for as little as one day.

Many drivers of vans will either be hiring or borrowing the vehicle. This is where temp 1 day car insurance can be useful, if you are using a van for a range of situations.

For those bikers that are planning a summer road trip or perhaps attending a biking convention or meet-up, temp car insurance could be useful if the motorbike you are riding is not one you use regularly. This could be very beneficial if they use a car most of the year and will only be using the motorbike while they are away.

Top Gear – Tom Cruise Lap

First to go was Cameron Diaz who did a smooth turn on the hardest turn of the lap, which they call the hammer. Though while she was driving, she probably didn’t realise the show was going to be broad casted as she was swearing quite a bit but it was funny. after the lap she became the fastest on the leader board after a lap time of 1 minute 45 seconds and 2 milliseconds. While she had a helmet on Jeremy Clarkson quoted, she still looks beautiful with a helmet on.

Then it was Tom’s turn, he had a decent start and then got into it. He did have few malfunctions while changing the gears but he flew across the lap. At the end of the lap he even drove the car in two wheels as the left hand side of the car in the air. Jokingly Jeremy mentioned I am glad you are alive after that trick. It was great to see a start drive a reasonable car. Then came the moment to find out how he did, his lap time was 1 min 44 secs and 2 milliseconds, a second faster than Cameron who is now in second position.

It’s great to see celebrities driving economical family cars like Alfa Romeo cars or Volkswagen cars and ford cars.
