Looking at the latest Go Compare advert, I'm wondering if it is not a pretty stupid advert.

It shows a driver approaching a blind hill at a speed that does not allow them to slow for an unexpected hazard in the road (in this case a deer).


I can imagine an insurer taking a very dim view of that kind of driving. Any thoughts??

I was thinking exactly the same thing when watching the film 'Alien',where Sigourney weaver(ripley) pilots the spaceship 'Nostromo' back towards earth,knowing full well,that there was a highly destructive alien being on board.

Where would she stand regards public liability knowingly importing such a creature without propper quarantine obligations?

Will her premiums increase?

Will the dead crews family still get access to a death in service pension?

Her disregard for basic h&s was appalling :eek:

I think any increase in her "vehicle insurance" would be off-set by her Pet insurance - after all, she saved the cat.

how do you know how fast hes going just by looking ??
You don't, although as he hasn't chance to avoid the hazard he is driving too fast for the conditions. Not necessarily (and probably not) breaking the posted speed limit, but that is the difference between inappropriate speed and speeding as per cameras.
