I'm pretty sure a daughter wouldn't e-mail TDO and lie about it, and I'm pretty sure the press wouldn't make up a story. :roll: :roll:

I've got a driver who is 72 but he doesn't think he'll renew his badge and plate when they expire because of the high cost of the insurance. he's hoping one of the other drivers will put him on their insurance so he can drive on percentage but i doubt it will happen

Surely someone must have an 'any driver' policy? :?

I know it's not perfect and can be a right pain in the rear, but have you considered getting together with some of the lads for a fleet policy?

I'm pretty sure Westminster do a policy where each member of the fleet has their own no-claims. But I may have been dreaming. :?

I find it strange now that the insurance companies are coming to the and of paying off the massive claims from the twin towers that you're finding it difficult to contact a insurance company that suits your needs, weekly insurance is now available, policies that operate under a scheme were you do not acquire any bonuses are available( fixed rate year by year) they're out there you are only have to look.
