There shouldn't be anything in the algorithm that says 'desperate mug'. And repeatedly we're reassured the price is purely based on your risk profile,
Maybe within the group of people that leave buying their insurance until the last minute is a higher percentage of disorganised procrastinators. Not only do they leave buying their insurance until the last minute, they leave home for an appointment at the last minute, and have to rush because they are often late, they delay servicing and tyre changes, their direct debit is more likely to go down because they never got round to transfering the funds, etc.etc. R Mutt said:

Whilst I think that is true, I'm not sure I believe they are that smart.
You see some of the simple common sense queries put to insurers and the idiotic responses received.
How can they be so advanced on one hand and so behind on another?
Because the call centre monkey is not the same person who does their data analysis and writes their algorithms. You see some of the simple common sense queries put to insurers and the idiotic responses received.
