Poop Poop! - second update





or "WHY, IT'S GREASED LIGHTNING'!"

Just received my second Statement from DirectLine Smarter Insurance.

On the last statement we chuckled at the amusing gliches where they thought I'd been driving on a little road parallel to a dual carriageway at breakneck speeds.

On this statement my little 1 litre Peugeot has become a hybrid of Kit from Knight Rider and Herbie! One evening on the way home from work, the statement informs me, that whilst I was driving along the A52 I was actually undertaking a 32 mile rally up the M1, round IKEA, and down through rough bits of Nottingham eventually jumping the River Trent to get home - and all in 25mins the AA suggests over an hour for the journey!!!!!


Methinks that there are still some problems to iron out.

Poop Poop! - the update


You may remember me blogging about a car insurance pilot I was in - if not read it from the archives - I just received my first statement.

It's a fascinating table of every journey I made within the month of February, where I started, where I finished, what time I travelled and what speeds I did at particular locations.

There are some interesting anomalies where the mapping software is not quite detailed enough and has got me travelling at 64mph along a double parked dead-end road (which just happens to run alongside the A52 dual carriageway!!!)

Even with these gliches fixed I would only qualify for 2% discount this month - oops!
