Safe to say that you haven't touched bottom yet then!

GJABS clearly has.

None whatever!

Is there no end to your depravity/perversion?

None whatever!

Got two that handle better and are lighter, and one that is significantly lighter, faster, and probably handles better albeit with half the number of wheels, and two more that are lighter, but probably neither faster or handle better.

Oh, I'm talking about SUVs, not different types of vehicle.

Something under 1700kg, and I don't mean a rebadged Skoda.

Brain the size of a planet and I still have to communicate with morons

Or even in a 300bhp, ~500nm torque suv

That was a very small bump. I've been rammed from behind by a woman much harder than that

Forum avatar checks out.

The benefits of having a rear dash cam as well as a forward lookingone. Watch the driver pick up their mobile phoneoff the dashboard about 10 seconds into the clip.

It will also monitor if I brake or accelerate hard or corner too quickly. Not good things you want monitored when you've a two seater sporty number

[northernladuk]

So that's what you did with your midlife crisis!

Guilty....

Have you ever tried that Avia app that monitors your driving and then tells you how much you can save by insuring your vehicle with Aviva. It is heavily loaded against driving during rush hour(s). Which infers that just by being on the road during certain times of the day, i.e. using your car for commuting to/from a place of work, you are a significantly higher risk than someone who drives a few hours later. Car Insurance is a con. Australia seems to have a better solution where you pay an annual fee (akin to road tax in the UK) and that includes your insurance. Everybody pays a similar amount regardless of what you drive and everyone shares the risk.

Thing that pisses me off most about this is the insurance element of it. Even though you have clear evidence that the woman was 100% to blame if you go through insurance it is likely to be a black mark against you and some insurers may load you for it.
There was a piece awhile ago that even if you ring certain insurers to ask if its worth claiming and they advise it isn't it can still affect your premium.

It's just ridiculous.

They do have it all sewn up, especially the motor insurance ones.

They allow criminal gangs to purchase all the write-offs, they then steal your car (often violently) to take bits off it and put it on the write off to sell (in bits or cut and shut) on ebay or scumtree. Because of these thefts my premium has gone up.

And the circle continues, both Criminal gangs and insurers (one and the same really) are making £$£$£$£$£.

Take a Police force that is totally underfunded and a government blindsided on Brexit you have a thieves paradise.
