We'll Insure Dot Cotton Says Hyperformance

Well! There’s a turn up: Dot Cotton has passed her driving test and will now presumably be taking to the streets of Walford just as soon as she gets her insurance in place.

Don’t worry Dot, says Hyperformance, we’ll insure you, despite your age and inexperience behind the wheel.

Steve McPherson Sales and Marketing Director of Hyperformance says this is "just the kind of challenge that independent intermediaries such as ourselves relish. Specialising in non-standard risks, and Dot could certainly be described as one of those, the company will be happy to check out Dot’s requirements with its list of like-minded insurers and get her the best quote around.

"Just tell her to give us a call or log on to www.quotea.co.uk ," Steve McPherson tells BBC scriptwriters looking for the next chapter in the Dot driving saga. "It’ll have her legion of fans rolling around in their armchairs as Dot explains her special needs and just may give producers the opportunity to convey some serious messages about car insurance, such as the risks posed by uninsured drivers - there will be a few of those in Walford - and just how simple it now is to get the level of cover that is right for each individual, no matter what their age or how little driving experience they have.

"Dot’s character may be larger than life but the challenges she faces having just passed her driving test are the same that confront many thousands of people every year.

"We congratulate her, and the script writers, for having the courage to take the driving test at her age and assure her that we will get her a good deal - and they all like a bargain in Walford!" he adds.

Time for another fag, then, while she ponders the possibilities!
