About 12 minutes in but various other bits with the firm throughout
the programme that are worth watching.

So if anyone wants a pullswitch fitting give me a call and I'll fit
it for £400 anywhere in the country:-)


Adam, an even better one.

Did you see the item at the end of the program where a mother wanted to
insure her seventeen year old daughter to drive a Ford Fiesta?

The quotation for that was a mere £94,475 ...... bloody hell, this is one of
the very, very few times I'm glad I'm not seventeen!!

Who runs the insurance companies these days? Out-of-work bankers?

While undoubtedly there are some dodgy young drivers, I can't believe
that their insurance risk is anywhere as bad as the insurance companies
have suddenly found them to be.

And because of the extortionate charges of essentially unaffordable
rates, I would have thought that many young drivers are now being
tempted to risk driving without insurance. Is this what society really
wants?
