Well, nice to know you think of me,... Or is it. Haha
Actually, that's not the origin.
Here it is....
Well, in my younger days I used to be slim, and the ex's eldest brother used to call me "the rake" as he was of a rather large build., or T R for short.....

The Speed Awareness Course and the National Driver Improvement Scheme that preceded it were founded on the basic premise that "An ounce of education is worth a pound of enforcement" and the carrot to encourage people to take it was the fact that there were no points to disclose to the insurance company.
"Do you have any penalty points Mr. Fi?"
"Certainly not large insurance company."
"Very good Mr. Fi, as a safe driver your premium is £24.99."
Unfortunately, those fiendish devils in the insurance industry have found a cunning way round this.
"Have you ever attended a Speed Awareness Course Mr Fi?"
"No."
"Are you sure Mr. Fi?
"What's it got to do with you anyway?"
"Just answer ze kvestions Herr Fi. Hermann, bring in ze anglepoise lamp....und ze comfy chair. He,he,he."
"Well I might have done."
"HA! Admit it you low-life-insurance-shopping-around-for-schweinhund."
"Alright you fiend, I admit it. It's nothing to be ashamed of you know. YES I have been on a Speed Awareness Course. Say it loud and say it proud, I'm a SAC." (cue hysterical laughter)
"Excellent Herr Fi. Doesn't that feel better. Knowing that's one less excuse we can use to not pay your claim. Isn't it better that it's out in the open now rather than when you're lying in a hospital bed paralysed from the waist down. Think of your wife and children. Der liddle munchkins having to live in a doorway in Soho."
"You're right of course. I do feel better getting that off my chest. What's the premium then?"
"£24,999.99.....sir."
It is of course a way of finding out if you've been stopped for speeding, or driving without due care.....obviously. Whether they load the premium as they would with a SP10 remains to be seen.

I watched a cool program on Discovery channel last night and they did an FMRI on a woman while she strumed herself off and basically every part of the brain lit up like blackpool lights lol.
Most effected are the Limbic system (addiction / reward centre) and the hippocampus (long term memory centre).

Haha brilliant, this absolutly cracked me up
in answer to wether they load your insurance or not, they do, it made the original quote increase by £31 but then again being a second driver on my gfs insurance has made it go down £300.

How do you change the thumbnail image in the Members Motors section ....?
Its automatic, all pics in the first origional post.
As MEP says, it's based on the first Gallery picture in the first post. However you can edit the 1st post indefinitely, so add a new picture right at the start of the post and change it whenever you like
Needs to be hosted in the gallery for it to work though, no externally hosted ones and no attachments
Where you been?
epic journey
RESULT!!Haha brilliant, this absolutly cracked me up
Now just wait for the knock on the door.
How dare you cheat the insurance company out of their hard earned profits.
On a more serious note, there's a tendancy to equate premium with cost of the car that's been insured. In other words, the value of the car/van/bike is a relatively small part of the cost of the insurance. The value is obviously part of it, but the area the policyholder lives in (risk of theft), the desirability of the car to thieves (Land Rovers, Imprezas, BMWs, Audi S3 & S4 etc), and the type of car (GTIs and the like) because the more aggressive/sporty the vehicle is the more likely it is to be driven in an aggressive/sporty manner which increases risk. There's also the age of the driver to be taken into account as the younger the driver, the more likely he is to be a psychopathic mass killer. Notice I said "he", which is another aspect of the premium.
Lastly, even though some poor 17 year old lad has finally fulfilled his childhood ambition and is now the proud owner of £500 of Punto, he can't work out why it's going to cost him £2,500, TPFT. That's probably partly because of all the people who will claim for whiplash (along with the 4 others who weren't in the car at the time), and partly because, on the fateful day when he says "WATCH THIIIISSS" to his mates and/or girlfriend and puts them all in wheelchairs for the rest of their lives, the claim could run into millions.
