    The majority of consumers don't understand underwriting risk and nor should they. They get sucked in by meerkats, pirates, comedy actors and other gimmicks that insurers use to secure your business, although most just fall for the cheapest brand they recognise thinking it will all be OK.

    Those in the industry who live and breathe the obscurity and smoke and mirrors of insurance might be able to defend it in their own minds but others do not understand it and never will.

    Those meerkats & robots are from comparison sites not insurers btw
    All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.

    These are factors used in determining the group.


    Group alone may reduce the premium but age, value and admin charge are factors you are ignoring.

    I didn't specifically mention the robots but who are they owned by?

    Oh yeah, it's the Pirates.

    Just shows that people can't put themselves in the shoes of the consumer.
    Mr Straw described whiplash as "not so much an injury, more a profitable invention of the human imagination—undiagnosable except by third-rate doctors in the pay of the claims management companies or personal injury lawyers"
