Great to see you back and as always love the content. As an insurance lawyer of 14 years, I must say some of the insurance points raised aren’t quite right. Some key bits; - protected no claims doesn’t protect premium increase. It protects a discount on the base premium; which can (and usually will) go up in the event of a claim. - anyone can claim from the motor insurers bureau (MIB) pot in the event of an uninsured or untraced driver for injury; and anyone driving legally can claim for damage. It doesn’t matter if you’re third party, fully comp have all the extras or not. A claim via the MIB is separate from your own insurance.
Conserns me about trader policy I know someone who buys and sells 4 or 5 car's a year so doesn't have a garage so how long can he have a car before it should besold
I live in bradford. What piss me off the most is cars which drive down wrong side of road or on pavement overtaking traffic or in the lane to turn left or right then drive straight on cutting up all traffic...
Did the same but in reverse... Lincoln was ~£350/yr for my Golf R MK7.5, then that skyrocketed in London to £2k/yr. Mental! Heading back up north again, hoping for that to drop hahah
AND WORSE FOR COMMERCIAL DRIVERS AND NOW A CLEAN AIR ZONE 🤬🤬YES THATS CLEAN AIR 🤔 DOESNT AIR MOVE ? UNLIKE ALL THE CRAP OUTSIDE SHOPS ANS HOUSES AND STREET CORNERS!!!!! DONT COME TO BRADFORD ITS A CRAP 💩 ZONE
I got full insurance on my car, even if i don't drive much. Electric scooters are suppose to be insured now, but majority don't have it. They seem to rather pay the full payment for any accident they end up in.
I hate insurance company's when someone hits YOUR CAR and the premium goes up. WHY DO YOU DO IT!!? It makes NO sence what so ever to ANYONE apart from the insurance company's getting MORE money for doing duck all! 😡 I wonder how much that CU11 NNT is worth or if it's been taken off 🤔
I live in a country with out mandatory insurance, the only time a car is required to be insured is if its financed. And not by the govt its required by the bank, i spend way more on insurance than should be necessary, but if im in an accident regardless of whos fault it is, the next morning a rental gets delivered to me. And my car gets fixed. I know some people who skimp on insurance and in the time it took me to replace a car that was written off, and they finish paying off the financing (about 3 years) one of my friends managed to save up enough money to pay to get his car repaired after his cheap insurance decided to not pick up the bill.
Must be at least 10years ago, in Dewsbury town centre in the middle of precinct as an advertisement there was a Lamborghini Gallardo which West Yorkshire had ceased for no insurance, obviously it had stickers etc saying this car etc was taken as someone thought it's acceptable to drive with no insurance.
It's shocking that in America people can be seriously under-insured, so they have what's classed as legal but might only be worth $5000, so they crash into a $50,000 car and the innocent owner literally has no choice but to claim on their own policy as if the other car has no insurance at all. I know you discussed traders policies, but what about misuse of trade plates, and also, fake trade plates?
I have a trade policy (genuinely do) not like the blaggers 🤣. Some officers are fine with it. Some want to take the car regardless of proof or the fact that i dont need to add it to mid for 14 days. Or if im moving something to a place of repair or customers car. Im legal but still get agro 🤷♂️
I was in a hit and run recently and the other car wasn’t insured, I’m with admiral and they are going to pay out but want to right my car off 🤦🏼♀️ so frustrating as I now have to pay out my excess and pay the higher premium next year, and deal with now trying to buy a new car!
Nice video Ben love your stuff, hope you and your team have a good Christmas. Good video but wasn't keen on the out of date memes that kept comming up.
Wow I've watched some of your videos , God Ben you look so much happier, neighbour of my father's I think is an ex colleague of yours, sounds like west Yorkshire treat their staff badly they are trying to force him out, I won't mention his name but he lives in Ossett.
Ben, if you goto a garage and wish to test drive a car which obviously will not be insured, and the garage slaps a traders plate in the back window and says off you go. Is the person driving said vehicle covered and under any risk should they be in a collision or pulled by the roads policing teams?
I got pulled over today, I mentioned how I’m a big fan of your videos after talking to them for a while… After that there attitude towards me completely changed, for some reason. They Showed me hug respect and let me go 😂
Have you ever seized a car for it to turn out the driver was fully insured etc? Who pays the tow and storage fee then? Love the vids (although the meme's are a little bit too much) :)
Hi Ben! I wanted to ask and have an opinion if I did the right thing or could I have done any thing else. I parked my car up on a hill to visit a family member. As I was approaching the front I noticed my car was rolling back. I tried to stop the car but it was very slippery with ice and I have an injured knee. Sadly my car hit a parked car but thankfully there was no one in it. I manage to locate the owner of the car and knocked on their door but got no response and left a note with my details to contact me and to resolve it. We resolved it without insurance. Just wondering if I could have done anything different or missed on anything.
0:45 Well, that is simply not true. In the UK, peope don't just insure their cars like they would insure their houses. In fact, they don't insure their cars at all. They insure their car + driver + home address combination, which is insane. That's a pure legalised racketerring business. Insuring just the car would have been so much cheaper!
2:37 This statement only highlights the problem. People would do anything to get around this silly rule and try to get insurance cheaper "somewhere else" when it should have been cheaper to begin with. Politicians must get it sorted!
Ben you're a legend 😂😂 glad you're back with your new nose lol. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas 🎄🎁❄️⛄🎉 Here's to a fabulous new year 🎇 xx
Yeah, especially as the insurance market is unbridled, and compared to Continental Europe, premium inflation is in double digits. I'm currently paying £640/year on my Nissan Leaf, which is a massive increase compared to the £340/year I've been paying previously. To make matters worse, I've had one non-fault accident in my old car caused by someone in a Peugeot hitting his brakes too late as I was pulling over to let an ambulance on blues negotiate the apex of a bend on my side due to it being high-sided (higher rollover risk). The socioeconomic factor of Brexit and a dearth of mechanics especially EV trained isn't helping matters. Though at least I'm in a postcode that isn't a magnet for high premiums.
It doesn't sound entirely like the drivers faults. It sounds like the insurance companies are racketeering an entire car to seizure pipeline with dodgy or failing market practices

Ben Pearson on Bradford. December 2022.
He's not wrong about it being bad but it's 2 areas and I'm sure all round the country has one at least with every city

Just checked and my car tax had expired!.Cheers for the heads up and all sorted now.
I moved from bd5 to bd12 and my car insurance dropped ridiculous from £2450 to £545 🤣 best feeling ever
Did the same but in reverse... Lincoln was ~£350/yr for my Golf R MK7.5, then that skyrocketed in London to £2k/yr. Mental! Heading back up north again, hoping for that to drop hahah
Your brilliant fucken brilliant, ....❤
Bradford's not all bad, there's a blood donor centre with great staff.
Except the blood comes in dodgy bags by some smack head trying to get a free custard cream 🤣🤣
Iv heard the blood is stolen from homeless and poor people
AND WORSE FOR COMMERCIAL DRIVERS AND NOW A CLEAN AIR ZONE 🤬🤬YES THATS CLEAN AIR 🤔 DOESNT AIR MOVE ? UNLIKE ALL THE CRAP OUTSIDE SHOPS ANS HOUSES AND STREET CORNERS!!!!!
DONT COME TO BRADFORD ITS A CRAP 💩 ZONE
I detest Bradford. Bradford London and Leeds... No go's, oh and Birmingham
I got full insurance on my car, even if i don't drive much. Electric scooters are suppose to be insured now, but majority don't have it. They seem to rather pay the full payment for any accident they end up in.
I went to Bradford once that place needs burning down
UNFORTUNATELY NOT ENOUGH TRAFFIC COPS IN BRADFORD THOUGHT 😢
Most people have insurance for other people 's car , none for theirs as it is too expensive
Not true.
In birmingham i bought a small 1.2l kia for around 3k. My first insurance at 17 with a black box was 4.8k💀
I hate insurance company's when someone hits YOUR CAR and the premium goes up.
WHY DO YOU DO IT!!?
It makes NO sence what so ever to ANYONE apart from the insurance company's getting MORE money for doing duck all! 😡
I wonder how much that CU11 NNT is worth or if it's been taken off 🤔
That happened on 1 if the episodes of the program you or your colleagues were in with a Mercedes A class, think it was Haworth .

Welcome back Ben, love the new format, just trying to get the image out of my head of you spooning with baby Ben.😱😂😂
and thank you ....me too.
It's shocking that in America people can be seriously under-insured, so they have what's classed as legal but might only be worth $5000, so they crash into a $50,000 car and the innocent owner literally has no choice but to claim on their own policy as if the other car has no insurance at all.

My insurance was less on my rs4 than my Volvo c30 😅 I couldn’t believe it!!
Hope your nose recovers soon. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you, your family and your RUclips team.
Loving the new intro
Great to see you back Ben. Wishing a very Merry Christmas to you and your family🌲🎅⛄
Thanks for all the great videos over the past year Ben. Wishing you and the family a very Merry Christmas 🎄🎅 Here’s to more great content in 2023.
Happy Christmas Mr Pearson and.............. have a JOLLY GOOD NEW YEAR. All the best(sun shine and loppy pops) to you and yours ...and many thanks.
Of all the places I have ever been in the UK, Bradford is the worst!
I have a trade policy (genuinely do) not like the blaggers 🤣. Some officers are fine with it. Some want to take the car regardless of proof or the fact that i dont need to add it to mid for 14 days. Or if im moving something to a place of repair or customers car. Im legal but still get agro 🤷♂️
Blame the scumbags who try and take advantage of it for ruining it for you
You sound good Ben, keep up the good work.
Ben that intro was brilliant 🤣. All that was missing was the roadrunner as she went flying over the roundabout lol.
I was in a hit and run recently and the other car wasn’t insured, I’m with admiral and they are going to pay out but want to right my car off 🤦🏼♀️ so frustrating as I now have to pay out my excess and pay the higher premium next year, and deal with now trying to buy a new car!
What car is it I will buy it salvage and give you money ontop
You never know when someone might shunt you from behind and make off 😂 especially in Bradford.
Nice video Ben love your stuff, hope you and your team have a good Christmas. Good video but wasn't keen on the out of date memes that kept comming up.
Trigger happy tv, what a show that was! 😅
900,000 trader policies in Bradford hahahahaah love it
Lots of car sharing in Bradford. One person insures it and the rest of the family uses it. I won't say more. 😅
Feel bad for the person with the insurance.
No need, they definitely consent.@@BergenDev
Dealer wouldn’t let me drive off without the proof of insurance
Wow I've watched some of your videos , God Ben you look so much happier, neighbour of my father's I think is an ex colleague of yours, sounds like west Yorkshire treat their staff badly they are trying to force him out, I won't mention his name but he lives in Ossett.
Glad to see u Back Ben 👍 merry Christmas
7:55 if you work for the company how would it not be valid?
Ben, if you goto a garage and wish to test drive a car which obviously will not be insured, and the garage slaps a traders plate in the back window and says off you go.
Is the person driving said vehicle covered and under any risk should they be in a collision or pulled by the roads policing teams?

That means there terrible cop's
that intro flying in lmfao
Also when you see a 20 year old in a 100k car it's abit of a give away that's something isn't right.
Especially when it stinks of dope with tinted windows 🤬
Happy Christmas Ben!
I have tons of insurance
BUT
THEY NEVER PAY HERE
This felt like a training video 😂
Have you ever seized a car for it to turn out the driver was fully insured etc? Who pays the tow and storage fee then? Love the vids (although the meme's are a little bit too much) :)

Bradford must have gone downhill an awful lot since I was there rofl
stick a ribbon on it with merry christmas
Too many cut scenes on this particular video - less is more. Still love you though
How the hell you get a car without insurance? No way here.
Compulsory insurance is pure capitalistic idea
Played the big spoon 😆
A lot of these issues seem socioeconomic

insurance companies don't seize people's cars for no insurance, the police do
idk bens nose looks like it might be on a traders policy

Hi Ben
Like your channel. How can I contact you private please?

I live a few miles from Bradford bet you had a field day catching "people" with no insurance
Are you calling them aliens?
@@JamesHussain82 hahaha you know full well what I mean
@@kevinjordan9855 is that what you say to their faces?
@@JamesHussain82 so you do know who I mean lol
@@kevinjordan9855 are you living in Leeds mate?
Haaa so no you don't, you're too scared to? Thats cute.

But Ben, the police are not insured either!
The police self insure just like alot of bigger companies. Eddie stobart self insure
Insurance is a scam.
