I think I pay something like £250 a year for 3rd PF+T, which is not bad at all to say the insurance company see me as a typical 16-year old chav. :)
I pay £290 for fully comp, protected no claims, legal, car hire and my wife as a 2nd driver.

Had a bmw driver just reverse into the front of my car, me and the girlfriend were looking out the window at the snow when he did it. Went out to ask if he was going to leave a note in case there was any damage. Got a mouth full of abuse as he walked off, including saying
"If you have such a problem call the police and file it with your insurance company"

Well I will, got his reg plate, time of accident and will get a photo of it in a second to show he was parked there. Only going to file it if there is any significant damage though.

It was the fact he reversed in so quickly that got me... it's not even where he parks normally and how rude he was about it, never recalled a parked, stationary car in a parking space to blame for an accident with a reversing car.


Cant the police do him for leaving the scene? I'm sure he's legally obliged to provide his details. I'd do him.

+1 It's a legal requirement to give your details at the scene of an accident. Report the rude sod!

Don't worry I did... police didn't seem too bothered and the insurance company couldnt get the guys details (was the emergency team)

He did move the car later in the evening though to the other side of the road.

I've just managed to shave £200 off mine - Direct Line wanted £630, Swiftcover only £430. No contest really.

If you've got lots of no claims, it's hard to beat esure. I'm £450 fully comp, protected no claims and business driving on a Group 19 car.

Their adverts with Michael Winner are so annoying I wouldn't buy a thing from them. :evil:

Well, I live in a very good area for insurance, I have 13 years' no claims and am limited to 12k miles a year, so that all helps! I usually use Chris Knott or Adrian Flux for modified or sports cars, but they couldn't match esure for me.
