I've just rescheduled some of my policies and the underwriters are none too impressed with the sprinting, they regard that as very high risk.

Do any of you guys had similar issues or are you all driving around without any concerns?

I sit next to underwriters for term assurance. If you want I can find out what they say about it and why it is weighted?

Never even thought about it. I thought it was racing that they didn't like? Does the same apply for track days and drag events?

Anything that is classed as a hazardous pursuit. I seem to have opened a can of worms to be honest. I'll see how far the rabbit hole goes

Crossing the road is 'hazardous' I feel much safer on a track or sprint course than a UK motorway on any Friday afternoon.

So basically, if you die with your boots on, the insurance company can argue the hazard level.

Isn't there some Chinese proverb about living a short life as a tiger being preferable to a long life as a worm. Or am I making it up?
