Having lived in America and South Africa I have found it difficult moving back to a country where the individual is insured as opposed to the vehicle. It used to be the case that if I wanted to borrow someone’s car that they’d sling me their keys and off I’d go safe in the knowledge that if the worst were to happen I’d be covered.
