young driver insurance specialists?

The same people need their disc pads replacing every 5 mins and get crap fuel consumption in their vehicle.

That would be a police job. The extra police that aren't running speed traps because the cameras are. Not that the police don't do speed traps anyway.

What about the camouflaged cameras?

It's one step of a few hundred towards that aim. And jumping lights isn't *invariably* a dangerous act.

f*cktards! Just spend half an hour filling in their online proposal form. Had to start again partway through as it evidently timed me out when I had to go off and find some bit of info it wanted which I didn't have immediately to hand, but eventually got there, recorded all 3 proposed drivers plus SWMBO's claims and then its says ... car's too old. I mean it could have told me that halfway through when it asked what car it was! bastards!

Nasty :-(

These days I do a first pass through quotes with fake details close to my own and with guesses at stuff I'm not sure about to see if they are in the ballpark, usually takes 5mins that way and as the details are fake I don't get spammed by them.

Bit like their bank;!...

We have had excellent results through our broker Four Counties insurance based in St Ives Cambs usually beat any quote..

Might be worth a call...

too old !? how old is it then & why should that matter, I'd ring customer services & talk to a person, bloody insurance companies make it up as they go along !!!

BTDT ... I'm still receiving renewal reminders addressed to Mr Arthur Dent :-)

And yes, really, that's what the bloke was saying and no don't argue with it: he was a call centre operator so I'm sure he knows far more about it than you or I do ;-)

What about them? They are speed traps run by the police and are not safety cameras. The police can use hidden cameras or any other measures they decide to. That's why you shouldn't be stupid enough to rely on speed trap alerts.

Its always illegal though.. even if you are driving a police car! They don't always prosecute though.

The speed camera detector on my dashboard and the false number plates I sometimes use mean that I never have a problem with speeding tickets.

Are the bomb squad not still allowed to legally pass a red light, then?

As they draw under an amp, it won't be the capacity, but the quality of the supply that matters, and old cars often have noisy electrical systems that generate sizeable spikes, which could conceivably upset the operation of the units. Either that, or the fitters don't fancy getting their hands too dirty.

No.

I was just coming into some houses when a car coming the other way pulled out in front of me flashing his lights frantically. WTF? I thought... which put me off completely so I didn't slow down as usual into the houses. And into range of the van.

I tend to find that I slow down when unexpected things are happening. It sounds like you were driving too fast to cope with the environment you were driving in. just as well it wasn't a soft target that you were in range of.

Oh god, you've gopt dennis started....
