    The PEE45 is epic hahaha

    I was in Westfield when they filmed that; pictures of him driving on the road had been on the paper the previous day. When I saw it driving around, it wasn't Clarkson inside it. Guess he only does the "money shots".

    yeah but it doesn't really cost them, does it? they are in profit no matter how many claims they get as all the rest of us have to have insurance in this country and pay big money for the privilege.

    Ah that's not a complaint, was only to serve as an indicator as to why my insurance remained so high. Accidents happen. Payouts tend to be high when the third party is a cyclist :o

    It's also been proven that people are predisposed to guess the end of a sentence rather than actually reading it, as they scan rather than take in each word, so I suspect BW read "@BW there is a programme on CmR on tv now" rather than actually reading the entire sentence, which most people don't do.

    Colin McCrae was probably the person who got me hooked on motorsport as a kid, really nice to see his cars are still looked after at his home.

    The technique around this of putting important information at the end of a sentence is used in certain exams I've come across. It's astonishingly effective at causing people to not do as well as they could.

    /back to motors now, moment of pedantry over.

    .

    In most cases premiums exceed claims on an aggregate basis so over the lifecycle they should almost equal (not on a person yb person basis). Big claims = big premiums and it's not clear that PIAB has done anything to reduce this (as it was suggested it would do).

    Didn't mean to suggest you were complaining, more that you'd had your moneys worth!! Seriously, I'm surprised your premiums have fallen off so quickly. Makes me less concerned about claiming if I have a tip!

    Yep, and some people are just plain thick! ;)
