Make car insurance companies lower their prices because most people are indoors.
some people have low contract hours with their job companies. For example my contract hours are 4 hours per week however I’ve worked much more than this. Due to this I will only be getting a very little sum that cannot afford my car insurance and living costs.
Car insurance is high, especially for new drivers such as myself that only got a car last month. Due to coronavirus and the lockdown, now many people have lost their job and cannot go outside as often. Therefore the risks of road accidents decreases. Hence I believe that car insurance should be cheaper to help citizens relieve their financial stress during these hard times.
