Driven To Distraction
For some time now there has been widespread dissatisfaction amongst the motoring public about the cost of insurance which, in recent years, has risen considerably -indeed more steeply than consumer prices in general.
It is no exaggeration to say that the public, and young people in particular, are being fleeced by the insurance industry.
Despite much heated debate on the exorbitant cost of car insurance, there has been no tangible move to reduce the heavy burden on motorists.
Consumers blame high premiums on insurance providers who, in turn, point to the government, the legal profession and young drivers as the main contributors to soaring costs.
Whatever the answer, the industry is in a win-win scenario, raking in billions of pounds every year.
Responsible motorists might be forgiven for feeling a tinge of road rage on learning that uninsured drivers are adding significantly to the cost factor.
According to the insurance industry, the growing problem of uninsured drivers adds significantly to the annual premium of every insured motorist in the country.
