This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Reduce the cost of Car Insurance Premiums, which have risen by 40% in 12 months.
More details
In the last 12 months car insurance premiums have risen by an average of 40%.
Insurance companies say the rise is because of fraudulent claims - why should law-abiding citizens be punished for an insurance company's inability to effectively detect and repudiate fraudulent claims?
The increase in premiums will only encourage people to drive whilst uninsured creating further illegitimate insurance claims.
Let us see evidence to support the increases and proof that rules relating to corporate competition are being adhered to.
Force insurers to reduce premiums to a reasonable rate - with any increases in line with inflation.
