Taxi Trade against extortionate reserves added to insurance policies

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

To stop insurance companies from putting massive reserves against taxi companies and drivers when the accidents are not our faults

Why it was rejected

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

The identification of risk and resulting pricing and structure of insurance premiums is a matter for individual insurers, not the UK Government or Parliament.
