About two-thirds of car insurers are being tough to drivers who are only seventeen years old as they refuse to take them. Because of this, the Government will be pressured to implement the legal driving age to eighteen years old. Actually, even those who are under 21 will find it difficult to get coverage because still half of the insurers do not want to issue them insurance policies. Another issue that is being supported by major insurance companies are those being raised by safety groups that include night time curfews and a total alcohol ban for those who just qualified to drive.

The Question now is Why Premiums are Lower for these Vehicles?
Continued from the Previous News about The 10 least Expensive Autos to Insure in 2008 Among Top Sellers
Your own premiums are calculated using sophisticated tables combining your personal factors plus the “loss experience” of the vehicles. That means that the owners of some vehicles end up with far fewer or far less expensive insurance claims than others. This “loss history” is used to price other policies and helps keep your premium in check.
For example, if your car model isn’t stolen much, your comprehensive premiums may be comparatively lower. If repair costs are low for your vehicle, collision coverage may be lower.
