Rising Cost of Motor Insurance: Discussion (Resumed)

11:00 am

Ms Verona Murphy:

In essence the Department’s aim in doing this was to remove vehicles on the presumption that we would buy bigger vehicles.

That is not what is happening. What is happening is that there are more vehicles on the road carrying less. I think that is where Senator Burke is coming from on the basis that it is about road safety and it means that there are more vehicles. Ultimately, that causes a higher risk.
