Busted a screen today so made the inquires of my insurer GIO, it appears that there's an option for $20 per year that will allow one free replacement and not effect your No Claim Bonus.

I see on the news that the country is now in the grip of the 'R' word. I agree with the experts - with one big difference! In their eyes 'R' is for 'recession' but for me it is for 'RETIREMENT'!!!!!!!! As from last Friday I am now officially a nothing in official eyes but watch out for us on the road. We are boo...
