CoolCarbon Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Well, I've just celebrated the 30th anniversary of my 21st Birthday.... ;) So, at my time of life, Insurance Companies are all but paying me to use me car....one of the few advantages of getting, err, more Senior in years.... :unsure: That said, I feel like an 18 year old....mentally of course as growing up is always optional.... :) Quote

Occupation can be a killer on the old insurance, im a photographer and that falls under "design" which puts about 10% on. Quote
Rich_Eason Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Does anyone know what effect working at an abattoir has on your driving? Does it put up or down your insurance quotes. I always see this at the top of the occupation list and always makes me wonder... Gees mental note get out more :) Occupation can be a killer on the old insurance, im a photographer and that falls under "design" which puts about 10% on. Of course Stu, "you are always hearing of Designers especially photographers driving like complete nutjobs" You should have been a Graphic Designer...they drive soooooo much more sensibly.... ;) Quote
