Let me start at the begining,
As i own my own domain, like many IT literate people these days, I make up email address’s as I go along, depending on what I need it for, homeshopping@, mobile@, cars@ etc, I am sure you get the picture, I then run a catch all system (with some fairly heavy spam blocking, not filtering, outright blocking)
So a few days ago I get an email from a place called licenceguard to an address I used to get car insurance qoutes, insure@ as it happens
Offering me insurance against losing my driving licence, that would pay out up to ??15,000 per year for taxis etc, if I lose my driving licence, all for a ??125 premium !!!!!!!!!!
So if i get this right, some car insurance outfit sold my email address on to licenceguard, who then offer to cover my travelling expenses if I lose my licence, by say, repeatedly driving with no car insurence, becasue licenseguard was cheaper, get my drift !!!
Not someting I would do personly , but I am sure there are many that might, or even wor,se drink drive, knowing they would still be able to get to work, if they got caught and lost their licence !!!!

Just read your comments on MSM. I have joined LicenceGuard. I have 6 points on my licence. My job involves driving round the country. Thats how I got my points. At least now I can relax a bit.
J joined too – seems like a pretty good idea, if I lost my licence I’d lose my livelyhood. I’ve already got 6 points and am woried abot getting more
I rest may case, I have been driving for 20 years, and never had any points, and that is not to say i dont deserve a few,
But LicenceGuard are effectivly encouraging people to continue to break the Law and drive irresponsibly with points on their licence, when they should be thinking about slowing down.
I really did not want any more points on my licence, but got another 3, from a camera that was hidden. I am going to appeal as I was only going 35 on a 30 mph. I thought it was 40 mph, ok, my mistake but it is really unfair. I am pleased I joined LicenceGuard.
