Car insurance for young drivers soars, reveals AA

The AA has noted that the cost of car insurance for young drivers has seen a sharp increase over the past 12 months.

Simon Douglas, director of AA Insurance, cited "shocking statistics" showing the number of crashes young people - particularly males - are involved in as being the main reason for prices going up so much.

The AA British Insurance Premium Index showed that the average cost of insurance has gone up 39.3 per cent overall over the past year, with drivers between 17 and 22 years old seeing the cost of policies rise by an average of 51 per cent.

Mr Douglas urged insurance providers to work with road safety organisations and the government to try to cut the number of crashes young people are involved in.

"Recent road casualty statistics from the Department for Transport show that a third of men who are killed or seriously injured on Britain's roads are under 25," he said.

This week, moneysupermarket.com head of car insurance Steve Sweeney suggested specialist insurers may be able to offer young people better deals on motor cover.
