They got me...

and I thought I was sick of these ads...
 

Best deal was Marks & Spencers actually!!
Seriously, now the supermarkets are doing insurance, is this good or bad?

Seriously though, are we going to get a sensible review of the insurance companies unbridled power over the motorist?

RAC report of govt review of car insurance
Manchester's key 103 radio report
Guardian's report

I truly hope so - haven't you noticed over the years how searches for insurance have started to include more and more 'granular' details for their information - e.g.

  • annual mileage has been broken into segments by the thousand
  • no claims used to be up to 5, now its by year from 1 to 9, 15, more depending on the insurance company - how can you provide evidence for over so many years when the insurance companies didn't record that many years pin the past? 
  • the excess is no broken into voluntary, compulsory, for windscreen, some other things I didn't catch
  • phone quotes force you to listen to all the extras, even when you specifically say no extras.
And the cost now.... a 13 year old 2.0litre car with alarm and immobiliser, with a driver who had a license for over 20 years, no claims, no points, over £1100....?!?


So where is the money coming from for so many new drivers buying expensive cars round where I live?

I mean, they must be new...
