Young driver safety was the focus of an important roundtable in the House of Commons yesterday, bringing together motor insurers to discuss how we can reduce the disproportionate number of crashes caused by young drivers.

Insurers are on the frontline of young driver risk every day, so it was invaluable to see them at the heart of the discussion. They understand behaviour, claims trends, pricing pressures and the realities facing new drivers.

Their insight, data and influence will be vital as we work towards the Government’s target of a 𝟲𝟱% 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗷𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟯𝟱.

𝗔𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝟮𝟰% 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗷𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲 𝟭𝟳 𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟰-𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿-𝗼𝗹𝗱𝘀, so getting this right would save lives and make a major contribution towards meeting those targets.

Insurance costs are high because crash risk is high among this vulnerable group - a reality that underlines the need for meaningful, long-term solutions to safeguard young drivers.

The event reinforced that there is no single answer. Progress will require collaboration, innovation and a willingness to do things differently.

Thank you again to Andy MacNae MP for making the event happen and to everybody who attended.
