    It's simple English.

    Admiral. Full stop. They are the only company who ask about SACs.

    dacouch suggested that Admiral, Bell and Diamond asked. That was exactly what I said. We are in agreement. Admiral are the only company who ask about SACs. All their brands ask, but they are the only company who ask.

    Bell and Diamond are both Admiral marketing brands. "All three" are one company. That one company, Admiral, is the only one who ask.

    Still don't get it.


    A full stop is more punctuation than "simple English".


    Where do they teach you to write down the punctuation marks?Question mark.


    Not all customers appreciate which brand names are associated.


    The question about courses isn't just asked about when getting quotes from Admiral! Exclamation mark.Full stop

  • We're talking about insurance here, not grammar.

    If that were true, then surely it would show that speed awareness courses are a waste of time (in terms of reducing risk) and only exist as a money-making device.

    So would you advocate going back to having men with red flags walking in front of all cars? After all, if you're travelling at 3mph, then (according to your arguement) you're much less likely to crash than at 30mph.

    Are you saying everyone driving at 3mph is less safe than everyone driving at 30mph?

    Of course it is more safe. Am I saying that should be the case? No. I don't think I ever said that. I'm saying if you have someone that speeds all the time, and someone who doesn't, all other things being equal, the person speeding is more likely to have an accident, therefore making them higher risk to insure.

    Yes. If they ask, you need to be honest.
    Only admiral brands ask.
    They have no way of confirming your answer with any records of the course, though.

    What brands are associated with Admiral brands?
