Impose partial relief on car insurance premiums due to COVID-19 lockdown.
Request insurance companies to reduce the cost of car insurance premiums due to COVID-19 lockdown.
Insurance companies should not profit from the reduction in overall UK traffic accident claims as a whole during COVID-19. A reduction in overall traffic means an overall reduction in traffic accident claims. However, drivers still pay car insurance premiums as if traffic volumes have not changed in the UK during COVID-19 lockdown.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Insurance policies are private arrangements between individual insurance companies and policy holders, and are not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament.
The Association of British Insurers has published advice about the impact of coronavirus on different types of insurance, and suggests that if you want to keep your car but won't drive it for a while you should contact your insurance provider to see how they can support you: www.abi.org.uk/products-and-issues/topics-and-issues/coronavirus-hub/motor-insurance/
