You've already hit upon the name: Fat tinkers Insurance.

Some of the sales slogans could be: "No excess as you have excess", "No heavy weight prices here", "Get a weight off your mind; insure with Fat tinkers"  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm sure the regulars on here can think of a few more.  :y

Once they sort out all the drink drivers, the drug drivers, the uninsured, the speeders, the wreckless, the incompetent, the dangerous drivers, the "I don't give a crap" drivers, the unlicensed drivers, and then sort themselves out and send their drivers to driving school, I think we'd all be quite happy for people with runny nose to be targeted,  as we'd be living in a perfect world.

My sentiments exactly, I'd much rather share the road with someone who has OD'd on a bottle of Night Nurse than any of the above examples.
Pretty much anything we do in a car these days is becoming an "offence", I'm just wondering if it's being done to raise money in general or it's being done to help clear the over congested crap they laughingly call a road when you hit 12 points after doing what you've been doing the last 25 years without incident.
