I'm just contacting you in relation to the work you're doing to cut down insurance premiums. I was involved in an accident 2 years ago and at unmarked crossroads, and despite my efforts to get the council to partially claim responsibility, the claim went fully against my premium. I'm 23 with a full licence, and paid £3200 the year after on a 1.5 Honda Civic.

I assumed this would be reduced after a years no-claim's bonus, but instead it went up to £3600. That was effectively an £800 increase after you consider the NCB. Since I was a named driver at the time of the accident, my father's policy has also been hit, he is in his fifties with 3 years no claims bonus and is paying £1200.

My insurance company could not explain the rise in my premium, as it was far higher than their standard rise, but because I am unable to change companies, I have to accept whatever quote they offer. I need my car for work, but even if I didn't, I'd want a car. I see no reason why I shouldn't be allowed drive a nice car, at the end of the day I shouldn't be bullied into driving a Cinquecento by my insurance company. At the end of the day, I'm not going to drive my investment into a wall or another driver.

I'm going to link to your site from my own Honda appreciation site (jspeednet.freeyellow.com). I've signed up for the updates, and would love to help out if theres anything I can do. Keep up the good work,
