Stricter penalties for car theft and fraudulent claims to help cut car insurance
Stricter penalties on car theft and fraudulent insurance claims which could help ease the financial strain on law-abiding citizens amid soaring vehicle and car insurance costs, because this deterrent against crime could ultimately help to bring down insurance premiums.
This change will act as a deterrent and therefore could help protect citizens from financial strain caused by criminals. The petition calls for a substantial legal overhaul, proposing a minimum double-figure imprisonment for car theft and bogus insurance claims. The current legal framework inadequately addresses car theft, offering a mere 6-month maximum sentence if the case is heard in a magistrates' court and often resorting to lenient Community Orders.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
