Rising Cost of Motor Insurance: Discussion (Resumed)
11:00 am
Mr. Ciaran Phelan:
My reference in this report was to young drivers. Unfortunately, many young drivers tend to buy ten, 12 or 14-year-old cars. What I was trying to say is that we put the least experienced drivers into the oldest cars. I have a son of that age and see the constant fear of him wanting a car and his friends buying cars registered in 2000 that do not look roadworthy to me. My reference was to young people driving very old cars.
