Of course taxi and private hire drivers jumping of the bandwagon with hired vehicles costing hundreds per day, and similar whiplash claims dont really come into it?

It is also some garages that have their own hire cars and surprise surprise they don't seem in any great hurry to repair your car, as they are coining it in in both respects!

Insurance is pointless, IF you expect to get paid out on fully comp


Buy a car off a forecourt (say £10,000) on finance (so thats a £14,000 debt) and write it off the next day and the insurance may value it at £7000 (if your lucky) leaving you £7000 out of pocket, or you take out "GAP" insurance, that covers the £4K insurance but does it cover the difference bewteen sale price and trade/write off value?

then theres excess, usually so much as to make claiming pointless


Id reckon most People in the UK wouldnt bother to claim for repairs where no other party is involved for less than £700 as its not worth the grief...and that's money kept safely in the bank for the insurers and they know it.

Its one massive con ..it really does need looking into.


Bugger all will be done. These are the same conniving shiesters that bankrupted the banks.....
