Cheap motor insurers recycle cheap motor insurance deals!
Cheap motor insurers Insureyourmotor.co.uk talk recycling. Makes a change from rabbit-ing on about cheap motor insurance doesn't it? I mean there's only so much Insureyourmotor.co.uk can really say about cheap motor insurance isn't there? Not that Insureyourmotor.co.uk ever tires of discussing their cheap motor insurance. No way. Insureyourmotor.co.uk could talk cheap motor insurance until the cows came home; but the thing is occasionally Insureyourmotor.co.uk has to impart other motoring/insurance bits and bobs that might be of interest to cheap motor insurers. Well, the sort of cheap motor insurers that Insureyourmotor.co.uk has on their bulging order books anyhow. The sort of cheap motor insurer that knows a good motor insurance deal when they see one. So yeah, here, one of Insureyourmotor.co.uk's cheap motor insuring writers tells you something that has nothing whatsoever to do with Insureyourmotor.co.uk's cheap motor insurance...here goes.
Recycling is brill isn't it? You can recycle just about anything you know? Seriously - Plastic, paper, card, aluminium, 70's pop bands (you know who you are Steps) and now.wait for it.people. On a large scale, Michael/Latoya Jackson apart, I'm not sure whether this has been attempted yet or not. But sounds ok to Insureyourmotor.co.uk's forward-thinking mind. Although saying that when you recall seeing how a finished-with sierra comes out of a car crusher, then you do wonder quite how mobile next door would become if put to this test.
67% of car drivers would relish seeing this happen though. Singling out tailgaters as the ideal involuntary candidates to the cause. This is just one of many wonderful responses given when several bored people were asked for their opinion the other day.
Other responses ranged from and included the compulsory crushing of all French cars, (I can only hazard a guess he was a disgruntled ex-Peugeot employee) people who saw no use in Rover drivers, to those that questioned the very existence/point of pizza delivery boys.
Those holding the clipboards were none other than duffle-coated representatives from recycleyourcar.co.uk, who were keen to make friends with complete strangers in the name of pro-active researching. Or inconveniencing passers-by as its more commonly referred. A further half of those hounded, well, 46%, wanted to see inconsiderate people who hogged the middle lanes of motorways turned into something useful. Like a lava lamp. 58% wished for nothing more than to see MOT failures destroyed, whilst 35% of over-55's still with the faculties to drive wanted to see all 4x4's crushed. And Viagra prescription charges abolished. All this malarkey was conducted to coincide with the launch of the recycleyourcar.co.uk initiative. Something to do with drivers being able to locate their nearest Authorised Treatment Facility. (ATF) Or as you may know it - a scrapyard. Another acronym, this time the End of Life Vehicles Directive, (ELV) has just come into operation here in the UK , stating that ELV's can only be processed by ATF's. And that K.N.O.B's can always find W.O.R.K in special need government departments.
Sexes fared differently in the poll. Men were apparently three times more likely than women to know how many cars the UK disposed of. (Aswell as being 10 times more able to name at least 7 regular members of the England football team) The regions also witnessed differences of opinion. Knowing that an ATF was the best place to dispose of a knackered vehicle, the south west came up smelling of trumps. More than 50% of brummies displayed their intolerance of chav-ed up cars by saying they should all be crushed. Only 10% of those residing in the east however agreed with such extreme measures. Instead they wanted to obliterate supercars, and were 10 times more likely than southerners to do so if their agricultural machinery ever caught up with a Ferrari.
Our grumpy Black Country friends were generally the most critical of drivers. 82%, by far the highest proportion, expressed an interest in the recycling of tailgaters mentioned earlier. Purely for experimental purposes. They also hated motorists who insisted on using full beam inappropriately too, with 56% of them throwing scorn on such motoring sinners. Compared with a cowardly 12% in the south.
Derek Campbell has something to do with recycleyourcar.co.uk I think, and he said he wasn't surprised by the results; "I'm not surprised by the results". Great. Anything else you care to add Del boy? "People seem to be getting less and less tolerant." He quipped. Yeah, yeah, anyway???
".Less tolerant of the behaviour and choices of others" he continued. "Perhaps we all need to be a little more tolerant" he said, slowly; testing the patience of a saint and a volatile journalist. To hell with that. He went on to chunner something deeply uninspired about the throwaway nature of modern society and how best to dispose of a vehicle. As any Spokesperson would to big up their line of business.
Through with him, I leave you with this thought and particular retort when an interviewee was asked how he would propose to best dispose of his vehicle; "I'd get a mate to steal it, burn it and then claim it back on the insurance". Spot on advice there from someone currently back at borstal I should imagine.
Insureyourmotor.co.uk, insureyourmotor.co.uk, insureyourmotor.co.uk, insureyourmotor.co.uk, insureyourmotor.co.uk, insureyourmotor.co.uk, insureyourmotor.co.uk ...now that's what Insureyourmotor.co.uk calls recycling!!!
