Rejected petition Put a limit on car insurance prices and stop underwriters increasing every year
Rejected on
Having passed my driving test 6 years ago I decided not to drive for the first two years as insurance for young drivers was very expensive. 4 year on with 4 NCBs insurance has not got any cheaper with an average cost of £1500and despite being gender equal insurance, males still pay higher premiums.
Insurance every year for the last 3 years has been increasing for everyone. When prices are already expensive for new drivers. The average cost of insurance is set to increase to £900 in 2018. The underwriters are forcing increasing premiums without any real justification.
