Rejected petition Stamp Out Ageism and Sexism in Car Insurance Companies

More details

My 17 year old son, who passed his driving test last week, has received a quote of £1,908 for a £500 car. Changing no details other than his gender, we got his insurance quote down to £1,407. Changing only his age to 18, and no other details, the quote was reduced by £300. He is 3 months away from being 18. Discuss.
