Always combine trips, and try to live close to everything you visit frequently. Whenever I think about driving somewhere, I ask myself if I would go if it meant digging the garden by hand instead of using a rototiller. If I go, I know that somebody will be out of luck that much sooner. I've driven once since Nov 12, and would not be doing it tomorrow except that the local MDs have all quit. Buying insurance by the day helps a lot.
I'm not sure we can do this in the US? I'd be interested in any information you might have, including company names, though... just in case.

I have several vehicles that I'm likely to only drive for a few days a year, such as those I fix and sell... it would be nice to drive them legally, for a change.
