What is Mr. Hassett's view of the fact that insurance companies are pricing young motorists off the road, which unfortunately in some cases is leading some of them to drive without insurance, which is wrong? A case in point is a 17 year old who contacted me who is looking for third-party fire and theft cover for his own car. He is a provisional licence holder, so he would have to be accompanied by a qualified driver. Having gone to an insurance broker, he got the best competitive price he could get in the Irish market, which was approximately €12,300.
