Closed petition Require car insurance companies to insure the car, not the driver

We believe car insurance companies should be required to insure cars only, rather than individual drivers.

More details

The current UK system ties insurance mainly to drivers, which we believe makes premiums unfairly high for young and occasional drivers, and complicated for families sharing cars. We believe insuring the car instead would simplify coverage, reduce costs for households, and bring the UK closer to systems used in other European countries.
