Petrol prices a worry for car insurance customers

Thu, 06 May 2010

The majority of car insurance customers want to see a cut in the price of petrol taxes under the next government, according to a new survey.

Research by swiftcover.com has found that 80 per cent think this should be high on the list of priorities for politicians, with 43 per cent looking for a reduction in road tax .

Furthermore, 61 per cent would like to see tougher action against uninsured drivers, while 43 per cent want to see more punishments for dangerous drivers.

Tina Shortle, marketing director for swiftcover.com, explained how many of the pressing issues for motorists have not been addressed during the election campaign.

She said: "Our research shows that people want action to cut their motoring tax burden and crack down on uninsured drivers, both of which add to the overall cost of driving.

"But these issues are not being addressed. It's no wonder that half of drivers have yet to decide which party they feel will be good for motorists."

According to recent research by AA Insurance, 1.5 per cent of motoring convictions are due to uninsured driving.
