A cautionary tale about the PMPA.

TwoShedsJackson

A bloke who works with me rang the PMPA this morning to get a quote for insurance. He has been driving for fifteen years and has never had a crash or claim on the insurance. He is also diabetic and keeps it under control with insulin no problem.

When he mentioned this he was informed that PMPA would not quote because /quote 'they already had their quota of invalids for this year' /unquote.

So anyone who has anything even slightly wrong with them had better steer clear of the PMPA, or if that is the general attitude prevailing, everyone should.

I hope he got the guys name that said that and talked to his manager.

adra

get him to ring Joe Duffy there on LiveLine!!!

tellin' yah.....he'd get his inhsurance at PMPA then!

Take it

it would be hard for me and more expence to get insured as i work as a part time barman some places wont insure me

I did a little checking around recently, and nowhere on earth is prepared to insure an 18-year-old with a crash on his record already... The baztards. I'm stuck with Dublin Bus for a while yet...

When I got named on Mammy's inn-sewer-ants, she switched from PMPA to The one an Post are doing. She'd been with PMPA for 10 years and they wanted to charge £1000 (on top of her £300 full-comp, no claims and all the frills) do have me down as a named driver. The an Post crowd did the lot for £600.
Go figure PMPA...

Maybe yer mate's better off without them Cas.

BTW - I think that kind of statement about invalids blows goats.

I didn't know how to use a computer when this thread was started.

My name is URL

I think someone may have broken the internet in this thread

The One Who Knocks

Yeah, I hope this is allowed, but I'm going to use this post as a basis of a new thread.


Does anyone really remember the 90's, things were so much different back then! a simpler time,

It really puts things in perspective, how much technology has advanced since then. Remember the "old" internet, haha

Anyone miss ye old' times?

As regards technology?

Nope.

I remember when I was computer illiterate and did a course that included a module on computers. I was a little apprehensive and remember a girl helpin me set up an e-mail address (thanks Dee).

Now I don't know what I'd do without the interweb and me computer-machine.

God no, who misses 90's tech? ....I mean, in general, the culture back then was so different, the music, the way of life, ...arcades anyone?

Apologies...I'm feeling a tad nostalgic
