bigsam Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 chem1st - your posts are funny and I can see your reasoning behind them! Unfortunately I am not in the position to 'go on the dole' as I have been an employer since the day I left school and I am now responsible for over 300 people. I have only just took my driving test as I am stubborn about paying these prices and I need a car for business reasons. I do feel sorry for the people that work for us on low income. It is literally impossible for some of my guys to be paying these prices as some of the premiums are 1/3 of their wage! Something has to change!

Bruno Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 We've all been there and had to pay higher prices when we first started driving, the problem nowadays is any slightest accident a garage will put in the cost of repairs just below the price for the car to be a write off. And on top of that more and more people claiming for whiplash injuries when there's nothing wrong with them, hence extortionate prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem1st Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Another bit of sound advice from you,and very sarcastic..Being on DLA doesnt entitle everyone to a car, you should catch up on your homework. "higher rate mobility component of" then, if we are to be pedantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katiejackson Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 This is one reason why insurance prices are so high, FRAUDULANT CLAIMS. See this video about staged accidents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMorris Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I can remember when I passed my driving test in the early seventies. Insurance way back then was ridiculously expensive. Taking inflation into account, it was probably on a par with the cost of young drivers of today. So I don't agree with the theory of "well it's all the false claims...etc". It's profiteering by the insurance companies. Ok, hands up, who's ever had a renewal quote, which was far in excess of last years cost? Answer: We all have. Simply because insurance companies know that 'some' people will ring them up and give them an ear bending. But a lot of people just pay up, and dont say anything. Is that not an example of profiteering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
