IN A recent BBC news story, I noticed that Association of British Insurers blamed the high cost of motoring insurance on the fact that cars are build with increasingly complex electronics, making repairs more expensive.
According to the department of transport, insurers often write off vehicles for purely economic reasons.
Surely such vehicles often have minimal or superficial damage, but are considered to be a total loss to minimise the insurers’ overheads.
From my personal ongoing nightmarish experience, the insurance company did not give notification that I had Category A marker places on vehicle either by post, telephone or other means. According to the DVLA, by law they must have the responsibility to make you and I aware of the situation.
So what comes to my mind is that the motor insurance firms are just as guilty and greedy when it comes to putting the high cost of motoring to the over burdened, honest and law-abiding and general public, namely me and you.
The question comes to my mind, who really put the high cost on?
