Not to digress... but... in the USA, they don't even ask ! The only consideration is in the other direction - if you add value to your car and don't tell them, they won't cover it in the event of a theft or total loss. They do catch up with "bad" drivers in most states via surcharges for tickets, accidents, or other claims. Funny how things vary. It's also odd that the USA actually has what looks to be a fairer system. That's not usually the way it goes :-) Bob
