The setting of premiums is a commercial decision for individual insurers based on their underwriting experience and the Government does not intervene or seek to control the market. The UK motor insurance market is very competitive, and we recommend that consumers shop around in order to get the best deal.<\/p>

The Government has not made an assessment of the reliability of telematic technology used in black boxes.<\/p>

<\/p>

Vehicles are not required by law to be fitted with a black box telematic device. The reliability of such equipment for insurance purposes is a matter for the policy provider.<\/p>

The Department is currently holding a public consultation on the implications of the Vnuk judgment. The Consultation impact assessment assesses the likely costs and benefits arising from two policy options for extending the scope of compulsory motor insurance.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government engaged extensively with stakeholders, including those from the motorsport industry, during the preparation of the consultation and impact assessment. I met with a range of representatives from the motorsport industry last month to listen to their concerns about the Vnuk judgment.<\/p>

The consultation seeks stakeholders\u2019 view about the policy options as well as requesting further information about the potential cost and benefits, including the impact on premiums. This will be used to assess the overall economic impacts of the policy options.<\/p>

<\/p>

We oppose any measures which impose an unreasonable burden on the public. We will use the consultation responses to get the best result for the country.<\/p>

<\/p>

No. It is sometimes suggested that a system of centrally funded third party insurance could be introduced in this country. However, insurers have said that a change to such a system would lead to a general increase in premiums, especially for the more careful driver.  This is because under such a system a vehicle would have to be insured for all possible drivers, including those considered to be in high risk categories.<\/p>
