Independent Insurance Company Research? Nope

According to the oh-so-believable insurance companies, who we all trust and love so (you know, those kindly people who raise existing customers premiums regardless of claim history, and say things like, "insurance costs are going up for everybody," like that's any kind of valid response to a query for information), have today announced that the number of "Crash for Cash" claims are higher than ever before.

And what wise sage words of wisdom can these companies give us?

Quote:

The scams cost insurers about £350m in 2009 and added £44 to the premium of every driver in the country.

Of course, that's why our premiums constantly rise in cost, always outpacing inflation, year on year, nothing at all to do with insurance company greed (insurance companies, as we all know are some of the most trustworthy private organisations in the world - LIES!). Yes, better to list legitimate claims as scams, because this stuff eats into their profits - can't payout, that would just be wrong.

And I believe everything private insurance companies say, it's obvious to me that if someone drives into the back of my car, it's my fault and I'm just fraudulently claiming that I was in front. BULLSHIT! You greedy, trough-snuffling insurance companies. At the end of the day, if you are riding up someone's arse (too close to the car in front), and the driver in front does slam all on, then it is the driver to the rear who bears all responsibility for not stopping in time. Can't do that? Get the hell off my roads, I don't want your car in the back of mine thanks.

Even if I slam on my brakes intentionally, it is still the driver behind who is to blame. Sorry, but if you disagree you should maybe re-sit your driving test (or maybe we should get the government to take away your right to drive - at the behest of private companies).
