Nationalise all motor insurance by means of a 5% levy on vehicle fuel purchase.

What the petition asks

Currently, a gas-guzzling, air-polluting, 7litre Bentley pays far less insurance than a moped, and the current system is also agist/sexist. I currently find that over 1,000,000 miles of experience in the past 50yrs works against me, also my 50yrs of D/C + E experience.

I find that most insurance providers do not even quote me. My colleague was forced to quit work/driving as her car (ca £2,800) was costing £2,500 insurance, as a 50y.o. woman. She has been driving 3.5t vans all her working life. The situation makes no sense. She has never had any motoring, or any other conviction. My own license is squeaky clean, and @ 10,000 miles/annum my own insurance on a small van (3.5t.) would cost ca. £250 @ 5% of fuel consumption. Collecting the insurance, pro-rata, at the fuel pump, would assist greatly in blocking the insurance dodgers, thereby reducing this so-called crime.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure exactly what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

If you would like the Government to start a compulsory, national insurance scheme for road users then you could start a petition about that.
