Introduce changes on insurance costs for young drivers,
Young drivers face a crisis with soaring insurance costs, hindering legal compliance as they cannot afford the cost. Paradoxically, older vehicles attract lower premiums, conflicting with old car initiatives. This compels young drivers towards riskier, older cars, jeopardizing road safety.
Motorists aged between 17 and 20 have seen their premiums double on average over the past 12 months, from £1,423 to £2,877, according to Confused.com. One quote was £23k for a 1tr fiesta
An 84% increase in the price paid by 18-year-olds means they are now paying more than £3,000 for the first time. All drivers up to the age of 43 can expect to pay £1,000 or more for their car insurance, on average, the study said.
