Cheap car insurer locks down policies to hot to handle.
Well this cheap car insurer will be darned, as we've just discovered the ideal way to ensure that you're steering wheel doesn't get robbed, and stays were nature intended it to live. Because remember cheap car insurers, if your steering wheel goes AWOL, chances are the rest of your car has departed with it. And in our cheap car insuring book, that's as good as theft. Which needs to be both frowned upon, and ultimately eradicated. Possibly even made illegal. Though that's not for cheap car insurers to decide. What is though, as a consumer champion, when we're not flogging our cheap car insurance, is the promoting of devices that may be of some interest to our audience. And this time round it's got something to do with security. A company who trade under the name of Saxon Industries have gone and invented the Stoplock X-Cel.
Cool name you're probably thinking, yet does it do what is says on its automotively-empowering tin? Determined to sell this labour of love, Saxon Industries called in the big boys; the security heavies to give it a road test of sorts. With not a black bomber jacket, shaved head or collection of knuckle-dusters between them, representatives from Thatcham and Sold Secure, attempted to break the device. A device which, reportedly, is extremely difficult for crim's to negotiate. Yet grabs the attention of the sneakily observant, before their collective dander's rise, due to its high visibility. In cars. Around steering wheels mainly. Try as they might, and they did, after countless struggles utilising industrial and agricultural products of destruction from a varied toolbox, the steel, steering wheel shaped construction remained intact. Further violent, and prolonged attacks over a period of five minutes or more, also showed little for their physical efforts. Other than a few blunt instruments and much cursing.
So there you have it. Truth, if truth were ever needed. The Stoplock X-Cel is a steel thing that covers your entire steering wheel, and comes with a drill-resistant security push lock. You can get one from Halfords, and other recommended retail outlets for around £79.99. Or £80 quid if you can't be bothered waiting for your change at a busy counter. And it's impenetrable. Rather like Insureyourcar.co.uk's cheap car insurance. From competitors viewpoints anyway. Try as they might, there's no breaching our cheap car insurance walls.
