It’s a beautiful summers day and you are driving along without a care. You’ve got your sun-glasses on, the window down and the radio pumping your favourite tunes. Out of the corner of your eye, you spot a woman in her summer best and start singing to yourself: ‘Pretty woman walking down street, pretty woman [...]]]></description>

As Ireland’s recession forces most people to adjust to their changed circumstances, a growing trend in insurance fraud indicates that some are finding other ways to ‘supplement’ their lifestyles. With the country’s top bankers getting to keep their million euro bonus many may feel that they too are entitled to their piece of the action.

I agree with the saying ‘certain things get better with age’. It’s certainly true if you have an AXA car insurance policy, a full licence and are over 22 years old (*terms &#38; conditions may apply). If so, you are probably lucky enough to have a ‘Driving of Other Cars’ cover extension on your policy.
