Katie Price discrimination
Discussion
Katie Price complaining that her car insurance is astronomical and she is being discriminated against based on who she is and her driving record.
"...the quotes I had for my insurance on a normal car that is £15k was £73k, one was £53k and one was £33k, and they were my quotes because no one else would insure me because of who I am. It’s discrimination because if someone else had the same as me and they had a normal job, they wouldn’t charge that much, it’s way more than the car.”
She added: “Then I changed it to author and the insurance is £14k for a year but it’s still not the car I want... ”
Maybe the insurance company might now be looking into the "author" bit.
I wouldn't trust her in a Little Tikes let alone something she wants to be in.

The internet is littered with images of multiple BMWs that she has restyled using animals, bits of scenery, pretty much anything she points them at.
Would there be any point in trying to explain cause and effect to her?
You might get as far as cause but I strongly suspect her eyes would glaze over by the time you get to effect. Would there be any point in trying to explain cause and effect to her?
My heart bleeds...
Let's add a bit more context.
It's quite hard to think of any other course with such serial offenders other than the prospect of having their D/L permanently revoked.
Whether that alone would drive the message home I don't know. However the real likelihood of prison if subsequently caught driving might.
Let's add a bit more context.

A Sussex Police spokesperson said: 'Officers responded to a report of a motorist driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence and driving without insurance at Sompting Road roundabout, Worthing, shortly before 6pm on Friday, July 21. A 45-year-old woman was spoken to, and a Range Rover was seized under Section 165(a) of the Road Traffic Act.'
It hasn't actually been confirmed it's her, but based on her previous antics it wouldn't be a surprise if it is. It's quite hard to think of any other course with such serial offenders other than the prospect of having their D/L permanently revoked.

If that is her, it’s additional information, rather than context, as it happened after her complaints. Let's add a bit more context.

So she was grassed up then. Good.
There is no way to stop her doing exactly what she wants. Only prison or debilitating injury will keep her from driving.
Discrimination is one way of putting it. Pricing the policy according to personal history and likely risk is another.
You can’t expect special treatment all the time, but then expect to be just “Female motorist 45 from Sussex” when it comes to insurance.
I dare anyone to do an online quote adding her as a named driver.

At the insurance co. they call it the 'Katie' price. There is no way to stop her doing exactly what she wants. Only prison or debilitating injury will keep her from driving.

Yep, that's what insurers do. If they discriminate based on protected characteristics (race, gender etc), then they're bang in trouble, but discriminating based on you having crashed a plethora of expensive cars previously in dubious circumstances isn't quit the tear jerker she seems to think it is.
