I really do think insurance companies have lost the plot.

I got a quote yesterday for a car I'm going to buy, resubmitted it on confused.com today and the price is up by £30? WTF. This makes no sense, do they even work on weekends? No details changed whatsoever. This is with Elephant.

Same thing happened to me with Admiral when I bought my current car.. Insurance is just laughable.

£5,000 to be insured by a bunch of thieving a-holes that'll worm their collective way out any promise made by the ploicy utilising any one of the thousands of loopholes in the arrangement so effectively you're paying for a service they have very little intention of providing in the first place so you may as well not bother; or dive without and it's £1,000 fine when you get caught.

With the £4,000 you save that's half a term at Uni' paid for.

Are kids statistically having more accidents than they used to?

When I started driving in 1995 my first premium was around £600 and that was on a G plate Nissan Sunny 1.4.

Not necessarily, but in 1995 no win no fee was not the multi billion pound scam it was - while the big payouts were still proportionally the same , minor collisions didn't carry the 10s of thousands of extra expenditure egged on by the whip cash culture promoted by NWNF and ;accident Management companies'

credit hire was something minicab and hackney drivers used to get a locally badged car to carry on working

and Accident Management Companies weren't above every corner shop from Bratford to Burnley, innit.

...and the injury shysters for you vultures weren't circling around every claim either.
