statistically according to the daily mail
men who
have beards
smoke a pipe
and are over 30
1) pay less for insurance
2) less likely to be arrested fined or be issued with a ticket
3) less likley to be involved in a crash
you know what you have to do
elbow pads on ya jacket are optional
However a bit more serious
if you phone up your insurer and talk posh you get cheaper insurance than if you phone up and say
alright geeze hows it hangin Giz a ticket
vaguely scientific (as in they tried to measure against a control) investigation done by scootering magasine a few years back managed to get approx £100 off the worst quote by talking posh for the same machine in the same post code locked in as shed when not in use and from the same company.
they also found that confused.com et al provided a range of quotes from different companies all of which were specific to tools like confused.com and aimed at what it was felt a user of confused.com would pay. not the cheapest quote by any stretch just a massive range with 1 or 2 rediculously expensive ones to make the bottom of the scale appear to be the bargain the twat on the telly leads you to believe it is. agin 50 -100 could be saved by talking to the company direct
bleedin pathetic isn't it that your initial impression should affect how willing the glorified phone operator on the other end is to find you a decent quote.
they never worked out if it was
posh sounding people take less flannel and are more likley to complian
or posh sounding people are more trustworthy and are therfore a better risk
