Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 As stated previously, this is not the policy for you then. For my brother in law for example, he only really drives his car in the day, when he goes down the pub at night he always walks there as it is near enough, else he gets a taxi. Hence, for him, this is ideal. :D It's not about punishing people, it's about a new policy for a limited amount of people where they can reduce their premiums. P

As much as I would like to believe that the evil empire of insurance companies that has conspired to pump every last cent out of young and defenceless drivers have finally turned away from the dark side, I must say I find it to be a bit to optimistic... Although I must say that this sounds good in theory, but I keep coming back to the fact that premiums should be based on damages... Basing bills on the statisticly likelyhood of an accident is simply unfair to the individuel driver! Why not just read it in a fortune cookie???
Guest Confucious Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 Basing bills on the statisticly likelyhood of an accident is simply unfair to the individuel driver! Why not just read it in a fortune cookie??? How do you think insurance premiums are calculated? The more accurate the stats the more the premiums can be taylored which is why I pay less than a 17 year old. :D
Guest mcwarre Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 which is why I pay less than a 17 year old. :D Doesn't stop you acting like one tho' :D :P :D
Guest Confucious Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 I am young - I've just had many more years of practice than most young people :D
Guest ian_dazookeeper Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 ian_dazookeeper, you did notice that it was only 18-20 years old and OPTIONAL?yes i did notice this hence why i said its a very bad idea for me. Chill mate, no ones gonna make you use this scheme, it's a trial and even if it was succesful I doubt many insurance companies will take it on in the immediate future immediate future you say, mean yes it could possibly happen one day. which is not what i would want to happen for others in my simular situation
Guest squall Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 you know it seems to me NU are listening to there customers and offering more choice and more policys to customers. Its pretty silly for everyone to argue because you dont like one of the new options.... lets just all chill!
Guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Posted January 21, 2005 Not sure if you've seen this, Paul, but Compouting magazine mentions this, and links to this ( http://www.computing.co.uk/news/1160580 ) article on what you're doing. Pete.
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 Not actually very factually correct, but all exposure is good I guess :D P
Guest Confucious Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 facts? What have they got to do with reporting? :D
