The cost of Motor Insurance, generally, has declined by 11% in the last twelve months and has declined by 39% since April 2003. In the case of young drivers it has been represented that the cost of this insurance is still too high. As part of the Social Partnership Agreement 2006 – 2015, Towards 2016, a review of the cost of insurance for young people in the 17 to 24 years grouping was commissioned in September 2007 and I expect the report shortly.
