Tried this?



So called 'specialist' cover, so only very very very few insurance companies will even consider it, let alone quote me.

Insurance companies probably rank as number 2 in the all time 'most hated' coulmn.
We the puiblic and business's have absolutely no say whatsoever as to what we think is reasonable.
I've had many many bladder transplants because of them as a consequence. evil:

Drag that bastard soap box over 'ere NOW! I'm on one. evil:

Can you fuckin' believe what one of them said to me!! eeek:

"It would be cheaper if you didn't have dual controls, and you let the kids drive the car WITHOUT supervision and on their own!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me being there increases the risk as I'm telling them what to do, whereas when they're on their own, all actions are their own and nothing to do with me, PROVIDING I gave adequate operating and safety instructions....APPARENTLY!! happy001

Can you bloody believe this pure and unadulterated unbelievable utter utter utter SHITE...can you? eeek: noooo:

Insurance companies....now just downgraded to the number 1 indusrty of thieving bastards imo.

Actually yes I can ~ The insurance covers any accidents caused by "your negligence" ~ if you are not in the vehicle giveing instruction it stands to reason that you cannot have been negligent in the instructions you gave.

I Know ~ I know .... It is fecking stoopid but that is how they assess "risk"

I know, I know too, but it IS so ludicrous that it's beyond comprehension, it really is!

Would you or I let a child drive off in a proper car without a proper trained adult alongside?
NO. Of course you wouldn't.
