7M-Brisbane Forums Junkie Location: Brisbane Registered: November 2002	Re: Probationary Lisence Tue, 13 July 2004 14:00 Quote: not like the piss poor method insurance companies use where anything with the word "Turbo" in it is a sin I have access to a lot of (confidential) figures that prove otherwise. Turbo + Young = Accident... sorry mate. I agree that sometimes it's a bit heavy handed, but the idea itself is fairly sound. Insurance is basically gambling - and why gamble on a horse with a clear disadvantage (young guy, turbo car, high theft risk, fanging it up the mountains and through back streets) when you can gamble on a better horse (eg. male & female couple, driving camry sedately around town, low theft risk). Even if the older couple do have an accident, it's probably going to be a minor one compared to the young guy with the turbo Fulleesik-SXR-GTi-Vspec-R-Blitz-Sard-Apexi-mobile who is likely to run into someone at full pelt or completely off the side of the road. Same goes for a theft.. the Camry gets pinched, then found at the shops a few kms away.. the turbo car gets stripped for parts and burned out. You can't win them all, but 9 times out of 10 that's probably the way it goes. Insurance companies are businesses, no different to other businesses, catering to the needs of their number one customer (shareholders). Any business has a right to sell their product to a target market - and as long as they do not discriminate against or mislead people in the process, they can do prettymuch whatever they want. For some reason people seem to think that insurance companies owe them something. They don't... they're just in it to make a buck and keep as many people happy in the process... who cares if you piss off a few customers that you didn't want to insure anyway?
