Legislate control of average car insurance to household income in the UK

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The continuing rise in car insurance costs are a disproportionate burden on lower income car users who often cannot get to work without a car. This petition requests parliament to legislate control of increases in average car insurance costs as a percentage of average household income in the UK.

Why it was rejected

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

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We understand that you're concerned about the cost of car insurance, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition calling for a cap on insurance costs if that's what you'd like to happen.
