Apparently. I guess the theory behind it is that one more incident involving a third party hitting your car when parked means that the chances are slightly higher of you needing to claim on your own insurance as a result of someone doing it and not leaving their details. Or something. -- "For want of the price of tea and a slice, the old man died."

You get a better deal by going to the insurance companies direct. Price Comparison sites are great for identity theft and they only promote those who pay most to advertise with them. That is why a number of insurers now refuse to pay the sites and say so on TV. Your premium does not increase if you are not at fault, your NCB might be suspended during an investigation but later reinstated. Not all companies are the same, go with a well known one and you will not be left with misleading terminology that could be misinterpreted.

Neither of them needed a foot on anything to actually start it, but the auto did have the park/neutral starter lockout. I suppose later ones would have the same options as the insignia if there is any dna between them. -- Carl Robson Get cashback on your purchases Topcashback http://www.TopCashBack.co.uk/skraggy_uk/ref/index.htm Greasypalm http://www.greasypalm.co.uk/r/?l=1006553 |
