A mum had to take action to prove not every road in Wales has a 20mph speed limit after an insurance firm voided her son’s insurance policy.

Welsh television presenter Jess Davies explained that her younger brother saw his car insurance voided as a result of the vehicle’s black box recording his speed and seemingly deciding he was constantly exceeding the speed limit. It meant their mother had to take some unusual steps to show the firm that not every road in Wales now had a 20mph speed limit.

    What do you mean? Just because that set themselves up with a one click “accept all terms” agreement that gives them the ability to be judge jury and executioner? How could that be bad?

      Contrary to popular belief you cannot just make new rules as you like in terms of service. There are boundaries what is okay and what isn’t. But you still should be careful with them of course.

        contrary to popular belief, people and corporations regularly break boundaries and laws to see what they can get away with.
