On that basis, I would never insure my car with them.

Nicci

They don't insure girls in scoobs.

Bubba po

Too right, they're a liability.

Nicci

Lee247

Really. So the advert is crap and they only insure, what they consider, girly cars. I knew it

Nicci

maybe your name has to be Sheila too

SPEN555

If you rang up as a bloke and they refused to insure you because your a bloke can you take them to court for being sexist?

fatherpierre

Yeah it's fooking terrible.

One of them has the bloke from Neighbours in it too......

Nicci

I think one of you guys should get a quote.

My reply was that they 'don't insure that type of vehicle'

(Men can still get quotes from the companies aimed at women)

Bubba po

Of course you could. Whether you would actually win, and whether winning might make it a worthwhile use of your time and energies is another thing entirely.

Lee247

How is that advert supposed to attract us women to insure our cars with them,
Even tho' they won't insure my scooby

Nicci

Because it is for the dumb ones

Lee247

It's dire, oooooh am full of hell now, it's just been on again

I love CSI - however it is unwatchable on Living because there is a bloody Shiela's Wheels ident at the start and end of every break.

It is like aversion therapy!!

Run by the Bank of Scotland (eSure) if you are interested.

You would not win - it is an area that legally you can discriminate between men and women and the underwriting criteria are different.

Of course they may offer to quote you with a very silly large number - the outcome is the same - they do not have to offer you business on what you may regard as reasonable terms!

Because they attract the mucky looking mares aout there, like the one in the new Fiesta ad, where she runs away from her wedding................she's attracted to the NEW Fiesta as it's brighter coloured, and MP3 ready.

Even with my low opinion of most women drivers, THAT'S insulting

Just from looking at the sheilas wheels ad, I guess they only want to insure women who speed and read maps whilst driving

Oh and the MP3 ready Fiesta >> The MP3 bit is an optional extra !

Yep, indeed very annoying and another example of white, heterosexual males being discriminated against, we are just not on the landscape these days, I mean do you remember all the aggro about the Yorkie ad, 'its not for girls'.

How does Shiela cope with named drivers who happen to have a ***** ?

It does make me laugh, women want equality across the board unless it involves paying extra for car insurance, doing anything involving dirt danger or 8 legged creatures, oh and when the equal pays comes up the government says, well you can work until you are 65 like blokes do (are meant to, notwithstanding 2 million on incapacity doing building work) they said, oh bollocks that went wrong didnt it !

Perhaps there is a market for 'Bruce's Wheels' ?

powerman1

driving with no hands in the advert....reminds me of an earlier incident this week with the girl putting makeup on while driving at 32mph.

V1CK1

When it came to renewal i didnt even call them, i couldnt face it!

I really hate the advert!

Vicki

DMC12

My wife insurance is due for renewal. (Fiat Multipla 1 Yr NCB). Best price was Direct Line at £670... Sheila's Wheels wanted......wait for it.......£1040!!!

Trucker Ted

Arghhh!!!........that advert ,we switch the sound off every time it comes on which is at every advert break on some sky channels. i would really like to see the three munters coming to a grisly end maybe getting side swiped by one of them big roadtrains or even over a cliff or meeting a serial killer who would torture them and murder them (yeah.serial killer sounds good)

Bubba po

There speaks the archetypal trucker.

Do you have rolls of carpet in the back, by any chance?

scooby_matt

I know a woman who's insured through them....she thinks they're great

Mrs WRX

They wouldnt insure me either. They dont insure imports. Bloody stupid company and bloody stupid adverts.

richardg

it is quite worrying that the women in the ad are driving backwards whilst paying no attention whatsoever to what's behind them. not that i've studied it too much of course.
