Compare Free Insurance Quote - that's child's play!
Personally, and as a considerate cheap car insurer, I'm not very good with small people. Its not that I don't try. As a thoughtful cheap car insurer, I smile at them when they look toward me with childlike bewilderment; but then that usually makes them turn the waterworks on. In one extreme case of lowering this cheap car insurers self confidence to all new levels, one such pram-dweller took the option of vomiting all over herself, as I grinned inanely back. Charming. That's not to say that I wouldn't like to have one, maybe two of my own in the future, just examples that may keep their various bodily fluids about their tiny persons when addressing me. I'm more comfortable around cheap car insurance. Which is just as well really. I'm also more at ease in the company of animals. But then that's dangerous territory in its own right. Apparently the titchy of limb are supposedly to keep you on the safe and narrow when you're driving in your car. Madness. With all that gurgling, screeching, belching? And even before they become teenagers there's trouble brewing.
Yet according to an insurance company - similar to this cheap car insurer, only minus the cheap bit - doing what they do best, (i.e. - leaving the important matter of arranging cheap car insurance to the experts out there like us) parents - who are those burdened with responsibility whatever that is? And cars with more than 2 seats - driving with their offspring's in the vehicle are half as likely to drive into something en route to the supermarket, child minders, or swings. Or, by the same token, show an impressive disregard for highway authority and flout road safety rules. Is it me, or does this parenting lark suck? Where's the fun in it? So ladies and gentleman (and I'm told it takes both to create this amazing new, if not a little whiffy, safety device) children can save your lives. Fact. This article actually going anywhere. Fiction. Ok then, to the truths of the matter;
Truth 1 ; Only half of all parents questioned admitted to speeding with kiddies in their weird looking, needlessly vertical, modes of toddler-ific transportation. In the past 5 years. That's compared to some 77% of the remainder of the population who live a full and active life, enjoying many casual relationships and rapidly accelerating vehicles with altogether less vertical stances; who admit to having broken various speed limitations in the same period. And hearts too. Parents 1 - Those who can do as they damnwell please - 0.
Truth 2 ; Only 3 in every 10 drivers with intermediate knowledge of the Cow and Gate product range, and what chemist-based cleaning material best absorbs said products should they make guest re-appearances in the confines of your beloved vehicle, hold up their hands and say 'yes, I've lost concentration whilst behind the wheel'. A slightly better percentage than those without a 3 feet tall, inexcusably attired conversation starter, of whom half were as guilty as charged with taking their mind off the game momentarily. Parents 2 - Those that can do what they damnwell please 0.
Truth 3 ; Three-quarters of parents readily admit to slowing things right down, remembering what an important commodity they're couriering around, so therefore alter their once-wayward driving habits accordingly. Citing the conscious protecting of their child's life first and foremost, aswell as educating them in the 'ways of the road' from an early age. Setting a good example and all that malarkey. Whereas the rest of us just live our lives to the max. Not the C-Max, S-Max, or whatever body graphics adorn the mobile crèche-cum-supermarket trolley, but on the edge. But probably die very young. To think, if James Dean had been of child, he may have still been with us today. Parents 3 - Those that do as they damnwell please - 0.
Whatever road you choose to go down in life, and however tall and unfeasibly practical the vehicle you choose to do it in, remember, you can cheaply insure it with us. Regardless of whether you cram it with small people, physically attractive people, or Kennel Club members. The choice, as someone says on the telly - is yours!
