My insurance has gone up steeply this year. Sadly those of us driving mildy modified cars are being punished for doing so. At least, that's how it appears. Sadly there's so many people out there who have no cover at all, even with stock cars.

It seems a shame that enthusiasts, such as ourselves on this forum, are being punished for declaring everthing up-front.

Maybe it's time to lobby the insurance underwriters for a fairer deal.

Why should you, and I, pay through the nose so that someone else can drive around with no road tax, insurance or MOT cert in a vehicle that's not maintained properly?

It does seem unfair. I spent 14 years of my life working in insurance and got to see the other end but I'm still not going to defend them. Shop around for the best deal is about all you can do.

I guess like a lot of companies, they just hate young drivers. Its just most companies such as Direct Line showed me the door because I'm not 21+. Even though it was a high figured quote, I'm surprised AA gave me one at all!
