    I spent ages yesterday afternoon on the various insurance websites eg. Go Compare, Compare The Market etc looking for motor insurance quotations & Legal Protection is not usually included as standard. It is very much a tick box option at additional cost.

    Things have certainly changed since I was in the industry then, we added it onto every policy and it was the policyholders option to take it off if they wanted.

    There is no way I wouldn't have it, personally, the same as I wouldn't drive around without breakdown cover. I feel more reassured knowing that I am protected.

    Firms are stripping out all the frills these days to get the lowest prices and therefore the highest spots on the comparison websites. Increasing the excess is another common trick.
