General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Just been reading about the latest increase's in car insurance. The rise this year is going to be around £ 222.00 extra ,this is an increase of some 18% which is also the largest EVER price rise in one year! They alos report that the average insuranced driver now pays some £776 per annum , and that this particular bill now ranks third in the list of costs to a family budget with Mrgtgage /Council Tax/ Car Insurance NEXT!!
The reason or excuse for the huge rise they say is down to the PANDEMIC !!! I ask you the Pandemic ? but they go on to add that during that time there were hardly any cars on the road ,so less accidents , less income from premiums etc , so now they say levels are what they were pre-pandemic also with motorist's being involved with more crashes. My take on this would be if they are using the pandemic as an excuse ,well lets go back to pre-pandemic levels of cost to insure your car ???? just a thought , so to us all who drive dig a little bit deeper into your pocket 's oh and have a nice day!!
