Sheilas Wheels ! - DIE!

The 'women are safer drivers' thing does confuse me.

I take it this statement takes into account the proportion of female drivers on the roads as compared to men?

The M4 was chocka with female HGV/Van/taxi/coach drivers this morning.

Not.

You have a point!
when i comes to road users men out number women (iam sure) so accident rates overall will be higer for men - and iam pretty sure it would be the same if it were the other way round.

Just got my dad to get an insurance quote to put me on his car. £250 till May 2006 would be 5x's that amount if i tried to insure myslef

This thread is living proof of just how brilliantly effective that Micheal Winner esure advert is (yes, he did this one too). He may be annoying, but hellfire he knows how to get a product into people minds. It's a brilliant, if very VERY irritating, campaign. He has make Esure and himself a very tidy profit from being a rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish. And fair play to him, i would annoy you happily for a couple of million quid!!!

BTW, TV 'detector' vans never had anything in them appart from PAPER RECORDS in them. I thought that was common knowledge. But then we invented databases and suchlike. Now we never really see those vans anymore and thats why!

As for the girls being better drivers, that was also a marketing gimmick to attract more sales from the female population. It's amazing what a bit of flattery can do Get with the programme guys!

DIE DIE DIE!

Australians piss me off normally, so combining car insurance with them leaves me feeling suicidal.

Get this off our TV. Now.

The ad for Bell Insurance is terrible I'm surprised anyone takes out a policy with them.

What about Ocean Finance? Those adds are just nasty. Never trust a company with an avertising budget of about £3.50.

I have to say i thought this advert was a spoof first time i saw it...i was expecting it to be for Castlemaine XXXX or something...

They have prob used women to con women - a clever trick that would never work on us guys

it was also all over CSI last night as sponsors.

but, tbh, it's not only women insurance. I rang Diamond last time I was up for renewal, it just wasn't cheaper than churchills for me. But then again, it wasn't massively expensive either - in fact slightly cheaper than some of the others.

There are lies, damn lies and statistics. Basically a statistician can take figures and pretty much make them present anything they want.

As for the e-sure adverts....they suck....nuff said really. Happily I don't have to risk seeing it when I switch on the TV here. But I still remember that irritating tub of lard Winner smarming his way across the screen. I guess he'd run out of places to give him free lunches in return for a good review in his restaurant guides.

Who let his parents breed?

Jon refuses to put me on his insurance, he says i'm better off with my own policy because of building up NCB's, he was gutted when i got a quote for his 1.8 Laguna, it was £485 for me as a new driver for a year, £100 cheaper than his first insurance for a crappy 1.4 Escort

hehe iam being on insured on a 1.6 laguna - nice car to drive huh??
shame its french and every thing eventually stops working

[Steve B]

isn't TV licensing only there because of the BBC anyway?

The "beeb" hasn't played a good show on its main channel for years. BBC2 has had all the great shows, yet its not their main channel.

Hehe we've had our Laguna for 2 years almost and touch wood despite it needing a new gearbox when we bought it all it's needed is a new cam belt ( didn't need doing, Jon's boss made him change it ) and new wheel bearings, so far so good! iv'e probably jinxed it saying that now and the bloody thing will blow up knowing my luck , i quite fancy a Clio when i eventually pass my test

yeh - i did want a clio for when i passed my test - a nice new black one they look pretty nice.
i will have to see what i can afford - i have to lug a drum kit around alot so a car that can fit all that in would be excellant - quite like a Focus 1.6 zetec insurance group 5/6 so within my limit !

ah well

Va va vooooom!

I used to drive a 1.6 laguna, not a bad car. I like way the 4 ways come on automatically when you do an emergency stop. Very handy on British motorways. Test drove teh 2.0 Turbo as well. Which was fun. Like you say, it's a shame it's built in France by disinterested Algerian immigrants.
