Reduce Motor vehicle insurance prices
Rejected
16 signatures
What the petition asks
As we are hot by lockdown and have limited travel car and motor vehicle insurances have to be looked at and prices must be reduced drastically.
We the nation is not driving as we used to but our insurance fees are still the same and insurance companies should be forced to refund for 1-3 months fees as we might have been out driving only 1 or 2 times during january to now
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Suspending or reducing payments for car insurance is a matter for individual insurance providers, and not the UK Government or Parliament.
