well definitely not like a d**k, in specific i want to know if I go 35 in 30 zone would it be a big offence to do so on such insurance

Yes my mates misses has one, shes not a very good driver, she's riding the clutch a lot when pulling away, lots of revs and its marking her down for that.

Where I work there was a funny example, there was a kid who was doing doughnuts in a car park, who then knocked into a parked car and said it was due to the weather, they checked the tracker of the box and it just showed all the doughnuts he had been doing in the car park.

thats a good one, seems like the tracker is not a best idea

It's good if you drive carefully, that's the point in it. They will monitor it on a 3 monthly basis and assess your driving to your premium (usually)
#14: Re: tracker insurnace Author: dan_manu, Location: Flintshire, North WalesPosted: Wed Oct 24, 2012 5:03 pm ---- you could always try ringing up that insurance called Adrian flux, apparently you can settle things over the phone for a competative price as your talking to someone who you can bargain with rather than a computer calculater. a lot of my friends are on that and have recommended it to me.

Also I think Adrian Flux gives club discounts and are mod friendly
#16: Re: tracker insurnace Author: Seabook, Posted: Wed Oct 24, 2012 5:10 pm ---- if he ask about tracker insurance i doubt flux would touch it.
Flux don't do young driver while tracker mainly target at young driver
#17: Re: tracker insurnace Author: bezford, Location: darlingtonPosted: Thu Oct 25, 2012 3:27 pm ---- onI hope so,a mate had this French agency providing his cover for ages and he used to get pulled quite often(mad man behind the wheel)and he never had any problems with producers and that.....I do now recall that he had to visit France once a year to make sure his car was still classed as French,but it was all above board,just a loophole i guess.
P.S.im sure i saw something similar on fifth gear tv show about the hop to France?failing all that visit "Martins Money Advice"site for the best advice to get policies down and the best deals at the time,u could save a few hundred quid following his tips.....all fully legal,no doubt this time.Did you know something as simple as tweaking your job description can make a big difference to price,from putting mechanic to changing it to engineer can save £30 quid or so,plus many better tips on his site....its that money advice bloke of the tele.

#19: Re: tracker insurnace Author: TJsmith, Location: Ipswich, UKPosted: Fri Oct 26, 2012 12:57 pm ---- Alright mate, I've had a tracker on my whip for nearly 2 years now, can honestly say that it's been really worth it (as annoying as it is). Manged to get my first years driving insurance with a tracker for £1895 which was quality for my age and compared to friends was even better, but it got better... Driving safely meant I got a reduction, and money back, to bring it down to £1700. I'm now paying only £800 for my second year (19 years old, 1 years ncd).
I highly recommend it, but just remember you've got to be sensible to benifit.
My trackers through co-op.
Hope this helps mate

You cannot say that until you know someones circumstances/address.

exactly, london is not an insurance friendly place, i find that sometimes they dont even wanna insure me just because of the address. thats well cheap on a gti at 19 but if im right you live in north wales
#24: Re: tracker insurnace Author: 138Andy, Location: NottsPosted: Fri Oct 26, 2012 4:18 pm ---- 24 paying 600 on a gti, you should shop around, having a tracker in your cars asking for trouble, the ones at work monitor your clutch control , speed , location you park over night , breaking and accelerating if you dont break in good time speed up to fast park in a wrong area you get fined its a joke and its asking for trouble!!
#25: Re: tracker insurnace Author: lottley93, Location: Bournemouth/Newcastle/KentPosted: Fri Oct 26, 2012 4:48 pm ---- Admiral multicar - best ever! 1000 on provisional (age 17),
£150 hike when I passed
800 second year(18)
450 third year(19)
If you live with your parents its worth trying to persuade them!!
