Worked for Liverpool Victoria for a bit, hated every minute.
At the end of the day are you gonna make a claim?
When you work out the excess you have to pay etc it's sometimes not worth it so if your paying just to get a piece of paper to keep mr plod happy then what the hell.
I have heard of cases that the insurance company has refused to pay out, but thats usually in the case of pepole who have fully comp, smashed their motor up and tried to claim. The inspector comes round to inspect the damage and sees that theres an induction kit, set of wheels and maybe an exhaust etc thats not on the policy and says 'that it invalidates your policy' and you get get screwed. An insurance company is there to make money, if they can find a loop hole of not paying you they usually find it, it sucks. I can see why some pepole choose to drive without any insurance, the fine that you get is a quarter of what some young pepole pay per year.
