My mid-week whinge....car insurance. We bought our son a small Peugeot and to keep the insurance rate as low as possible also went for a black box to be fitted via the insurance company.
They came to fit the box a few days ago but then said that the car had been modified so they couldn't fit said box unless he/we paid a higher premium. Oh dear perhaps the previous owner must have added a nitrous oxide engine or twin exhaust even ? Nooo these so called modifications were - the two rear passenger windows were tinted, the model number 207 was missing from the rear hatch and there was a roof rack attached ? So these are truly performance enhancements are they grrrrr
So whilst I am on a roll why is it that points on your driving licence are considered to have been purged after 3 years by the DVLC and the law but oh no not in the eyes of the insurance companies who insist that you must pay the higher premium for another 2 years beyond that...blood sucking leeches is the most polite description that I dare write on here ..
