Petition Action

Lower Premiums for new drivers or put a policy in place.

Petition Details

Premiums for new drivers are ridiculous! with a black box 17 year olds are being charged £4,000+ and without anything from £7,000+ most of these young people are only making around £400-£1000 a month so it’s physically impossible to buy a car, lessons and insurance. We need a policy in place!

Additional Information

New drivers deserve the accessibility and freedom to drive without such a significant financial burden. In the UK, young drivers make up only 30% of the population but pay about 50% of all motoring premiums.These high insurance quote is due to the perception of new drivers as being high-risk, despite many being responsible. Therefore, there’s a need for a systemic change. We need insurance companies + stakeholders to rethink how they determine insurance quotes and demand equal and fair premiums.
