ABI's reforms promise cheap young driver car insurance

Spokesmen for the Association of British Insurers (ABI), the representative body for all UK car insurance firms, have again called for changes to the law regarding learner and newly-qualified drivers.

Specifically, they want to see every learner undergo a minimum of one-year's tuition and a limit to the number of passengers allowed in newly-qualified drivers' cars.

Analysts at the ABI are confident these reforms will curb the alarming accident rate among newly-qualified drivers, as well as cutting the price of young driver car insurance for all.

"Lack of driving experience and peer pressure is killing or seriously injuring four young people every day," said ABI director Nick Starling. "We need radical action to stop this tragic waste of young lives."

Similar legislation introduced recently in Sweden has lead to a 40 percent fall in casualties involving young drivers. Success of that order in the UK would almost certainly lead to cheaper young driver car insurance rates.
