That is also our experience. On the question of the older cars, and we have younger drivers and older drivers represented, what is the insurance company's justification for higher premiums for older cars? I understand there can be a point in terms of older cars not having the same safety equipment - roll barriers and so on - inside the car that newer cars would have. Is that it or is there another reason?
