jmac omg where to begin , what car did you order, was it made of gold . the car insurance question maybe but even then , asking do you have a carer i just wouldnt answer most of they question and if i was not polite i would tell to F O.
lots of places/ organizations you phone not just car dealers ask all these lots of personal questions not related to your call and hide behind UNDER DATA PROTECTION ACT i need to ask you no they dont , its mostly to establish you are you .
if you look up the data protection question they are supposed to ask by law its a small general list, i did look it up years ago but cant remember the questions
