See, Mrs D has one no fault claim from when some with drove into her parked car. They reckon it raises her risk which is patent bollards - she ain't never parking in that sport again!

This is a rather common response from the thieving gits the insurance companies

Like a lot of rather dodgy statements it makes sense to some extent
e.g. if there is a very dangerous road near you that you use every day for commuting then clearly you chances of having a problem are greater
or if you routinely park on a dangerous road where a lot of cars loose control and crash into parked cars then again your risks are higher

but, as normal, they take that concept and run with it out the area of common sense, out of its country and way beyond the national borders

They should have to show that you always park there - and that parking in that place is a higher risk
but no - that would require effort and reduce profits

What me - cynical???

That happened to Sue when a hit and run driver got her. She took the number and the police followed it up. It still affected her premium...... the explanation was that it indicates you are more likely to be hit.
As you say, they are thieving b*stards.

Barnet,
A brisket start to the day.
The engine service light came on yesterday, although it was mot'd and serviced last week, it always comes on on the 3rd of March, presumably it is programmed to do so as the car was first registered on this day in 2017, so I was out early and cancelled that.
The bathroom sink was blocked with the usual gunk, so I got my trusty bit of wire coat hanger out and unblocked that.
Sainsbury's have just been a delivered the goodies.
Out with the dog shortly then a quick hoover up before I go out on the bike.
