Minister criticises young driver car insurance providers over crash dataTransport Minister Stephen Ladyman has criticised young driver car insurance providers for failing to release details of motorists who have been involved in accidents. He said that motor insurance companies were being slow to provide important data which could determine just which young drivers were most at risk. He commented: "The insurance industry has indicated to us that they are very keen to work with us. But they were not prepared to give us the data we really need. "They provided us with a very general database which did not tell us any more than we already had. "When we went back to them we said we wanted the real data and they told us the real data was commercially confidential." However, when the Association of British Insurers (ABI) was asked about it, it said that the details that the minister wanted were simply unavailable because they are not currently collected by young driver car insurance companies. A spokesperson for the ABI said that it was looking to come up with the data that the government was after and defended the industry's position in reducing the number of young drivers being killed on the roads. The head of motor insurance for the ABI said: "We are speaking to our members to see if we can provide more information the government is seeking. "And we are already working with the government, through the Driving Standards Agency, on a project to identify whether there are high risk groups within young drivers, and are providing data as part of this."
