Petition lower hgv insurance minimum age to 18

More details

Haulage is a huge factor in the industry.
Baring in mind an hgv licence costs around £2000.
Its great the age limit has been dropped to 18 to get the young generation into the industry but like my self im 19 now had my class 1 and 2 licence since I was 18 am finding it hard to get into work because of insurance.

Majority of insurance companies want people over 25, wont insure or there is a huge excess or premium witch is leading to a lot of young lads with the catch 22 situation with a hgv licence and no use for it.

HGV LICENCE AGE LIMIT IS 18
DROP HGV INSURANCE AGE LIMIT TO 18 AS WELL!!
