Enforce lower insurance premiums for young drivers.

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Insurance companies are currently charging ludicrous prices for young drivers who, of which most, cannot afford. This must be changed. I believe that this increases the number of illegal veichles being driven around the country, and lower premiums will decrease the number.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The cost of car insurance is a decision for insurance companies to make, rather than the Government or Parliament.

You could start a petition asking for tighter regulation of car insurance costs, or asking the Government to work with insurance companies to lower the costs. We already have two petitions open on the site about these issues. You might like to sign one of them. You can find them here:

Regulate car insurance companies over cost of car insurance

Enforce equal and nondiscriminatory insurance policies for young drivers.
