These people usually drive stty cars, thus st write off value. Cheaper for the insurer.

Not in my experience they don't.

All different types of cars, often new and motabilty finance type cars involved, very minor damage but the occupants claim whiplash resulting in around 3 fire engines, 2 + police vehicles, at least one ambulance, Hato's, the road being shut for a period of time usually at least 1 hour, and a lot of paperwork.

anyone driving the Focus in North Cheam this morning, and pulled a VW Golf over for no insurance?

If so, that was my Mrs (insurance company hadn't updated MID apparently), so thanks for treating her nicely and being reasonable!

Black 3 series, with lights on, making good progress towards Guildford centre past the Spectrum (bar the 4x4 taking it's time to move out of the way), before getting held up in the rather long tailback developing at the Stoke Road crossroads from the A3.

Oops - I'll pay more attention next time

Had there been a prang near the junction with the A3 as it seemed a rather big queue for that time of the afternoon and the A3 seemed to be rolling slowly in that direction.

I've been stuck in horrendous traffic through Guildford around rush hour this week, took me an hour and fourty to get back from Leatherhead on Tuesday. One of our trucks had a little accident on the Southbound slip near Guildford Business Park last Friday, after sitting in traffic.

Sheet ice and an unusually parked Zafira between Bordon and Liphook this morning.

Horrible for the driver.

It's not surprising though, imo. I drive home from working at a nightclub now and then, and the drunks wander in the road, wander along the path into the road, usually wearing dark clothes.

This guy might not have been drunk, but, 21 years old, 3:55am.. Wandering along a pitch black road..

Spotted dark blue 3 series touring in Sunbury on Thursday.

Black Skoda, SJ59 LRY at Guildford Tescos around 11:00 this morning. Very stealthy, apart from the dash lights.

Slightly off topic..

The unmarked Fiestas/Focus etc.. Is it just a coincidence they have the Crime Stoppers sticker in the rear window, or is it a little hint to other officers it's unmarked BiB?

They're enquiry cars so not really unmarked cars in the same way as a traffic car.

Ah right ok.

I've heard Surrey has some new Unmarked Audis, 'BN62' IIRC..
