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

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

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.

    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.
