What is wrong with car insurers? Lots as it goes but one of the headings I’d lop a few under is daft. Let’s take the case of bogus smashes. The ones we read about all the time, known now as ‘cash for crash’ incidents, whereby an accident is staged by drivers resulting in a fraudulent claim. Now if you found a fraudulent claim occurring at say a roundabout or Read more �

A couple of weeks ago I was on my way out, driving down a road populated with some rather large houses but still a fairly built up area. When suddenly from nowhere three deer pranced across the road in front of me. Deer are known to be pretty dopey so their knowledge of the highway code is pretty limited which means that us motorists have to be at Read more �

I just love the way that the press looks at a fact and pretty much turns it into fiction in an effort to make a headline. Lets take all the talk recently about raising the speed limit to 80mph from 70mph. Whilst 79% of company car drivers are in favour of the increase we hear all the arguments from the do-gooders that spout on about increase in accidents, Read more �

We’ve become hands free, clearly we have all become cableist, we don’t like cables but unfortunately we have to get power into all these devices that we like to wander around with. So at sometime we have to connect up our mobile phones to a charging device, either a length of cable or more usual a docking station of some sorts. However in our cars Read more �

We’re getting to that time of year when many start to think about flitting over to France on the pre-Christmas fag and booze run. Some may pop over to Belgium whilst others may make a bit of a trip of it and drive down to Spain or elsewhere in Europe. And not a bad idea, but don’t forget to check the motoring laws for each country you will visit, Read more �

Have you noticed how windows in cars have become – skinny? Years ago the height of a rear window in a car was probably a couple of feet unless you were one of my dopy mates that cut the roof off their mini and dropped it by about 18”. In fact thinking back that may have been the inspiration behind the design of the modern car. Look at the new Read more �

You may be led to believe that manufacturers were simply concentrating on fuel consumption and CO2 output these days to the point of obsession, when designing cars, leaving everything else to simply tick over. And to an extent you are right with many manufacturers moving from full spare wheels to skinny spares and now the totally impractical Read more �

I must admit that I smiled when I read this next piece of information that 60% of drivers who own sat nav’s suffer from ‘sat nav rage’. 6 out of 10 users admitted to shouting, swearing and even lashing out at their sat navs when it failed to get them to their planned destination or failed to point them the right way. The study was carried out by sat nav app Read more �

After a series of sad cases where people have been badly injured and the driver has walked away with a minimal fine and a couple of months in prison the government is about to crack down on those driving dangerously resulting in serious injury.

As most of my readers know there are some things that cause me to shout, scream and throw things out of my pram, one of which is when dealers or manufacturers try to mislead customers. Especially so when the manufacturer refuses to take responsibility when customers exercise their legal rights. This often happens when a customer makes a claim Read more �
