OT Car insurance rise?

[Commander Kinsey]

That's the trouble, they think like robots. In my neighbour's case, he was married a couple of months ago, how has he become a more dangerous driver since his wife died?

[Commander Kinsey]

So if you defaulted on a credit card, you'd get cheaper insurance? WTF?

[Commander Kinsey]

I'm 46 and pay under £200 a year for my car insurance.

[Commander Kinsey]

Sexuality is.

[Commander Kinsey]

They don't check much at all. I've made several er.... "white lies" and they've never called me on them, even after an at-fault accident.

[Commander Kinsey]

What measurement where you using? Oh, USA, something from 300 years ago. Cubic microfurlongs?

[Commander Kinsey]

In the UK it's usually 3rd party, but stupidly requires the other car and owner to have insurance.

It's not a thing I bother checking. The police don't either. One asked me if I had business insurance when using my car for work, I said no, he said tut tut they won't like that.

I've towed my neighbour's trailer with the wrong reg number on the back, and no lights. A woman yelled at me when I stopped "without indicating". I said "I did indicate". She said "Your trailer didn't". I said "It's not my trailer". She couldn't think of a further reply.

[Commander Kinsey]

In the UK I see garages putting a temporary reg number in the window when they use that. The law is beyond a joke.

[Commander Kinsey]

Mine usually doesn't, not that I bother abiding by the law anyway.

I think it's because I usually have third party, although sometimes comprehensive is cheaper, which just goes to show the insurance companies don't have a f****ng clue.

[Commander Kinsey]

I lie all the time and they've never refused to pay up or got annoyed with me.

And your suggesti> You could be uninsured if you lie on an insurance declaration.

[Commander Kinsey]

But I'm a man, I assume it dropped for him because his wife was a woman.

[Commander Kinsey]

Bullshit. I'm just someone seeing what affects the quote and whether I should put other people on it etc.

And they're too thick to monitor things like that.

[Commander Kinsey]

Doh!

[Commander Kinsey]

Which is why you always have the primary drive as a safe one. 40 year old man with 17 year old son for example. In reality the man never drives the car.

No mystery: the ECJ ruled on sex so the Equality Act had to be amended to stop exceptions for sex. No such ruling on age.

[Tim Streater]

Which could therefore, now, be undone.

[rbowman]

It may be scaled on the car's value and what is a 20 year old Renault worth?

[rbowman]

Except for the Sportsters, Harley doesn't do cc's.

That ain't 114 cc's... My lawnmower has more than 74 cc's ffs.

[Commander Kinsey]

To please the police.

[Commander Kinsey]

Illogical, since presumably one of them is less likely to make claims.
