Insurance prices are pretty stupid over in the uk anyway - coupled with the
governments speed camera tirade then everyone would be paying double
insurance. In Northants (Uk) we have one of the highest numbers of fixed
speed cameras in the uk. Coupled with the mobile units that appear from out
of nowhere you have to be extremely careful about your speed - people are
driving with more concentration being paid on their speedometer than the
road these days.

Fortunately it is now illegal to use a "non hands free" mobile phone while
driving in the UK.

SUV's over here seem to be used exclusively for taking the kids to school
and parking on the pavement when they arrive - this is the furthest off road
they ever seem to get.
