The Government must regulate the motor insurance industry so young drivers are charged reasonable premiums, a young motorists' organisation has said.
The motor insurance justice action group (MIJAG) delivered a letter of protest to the Fianna Fβil ardfheis at Citywest, Dublin.
MIJAG, which has more than 3,600 members, believes young drivers should be charged the average premium when they start to drive. "They should be trained to drive and driving should be restricted for the first six months. The insurance premium should not increase as long as there are no accidents caused by the driver," said the letter.
