Young driver sees red over insurance

A YOUNG motorist is threatening to take the Government and the insurance industry to the European courts over his frustration at the high cost of insurance for male drivers.

Cormac Vaughan, a logistics manager from Knocklyon, Dublin, has decided to take legal action at being forced to pay over €1,500 a year for his car insurance.

He is angry that his motor insurance premiums have continued to increase every year despite the fact that he has been accident-free since he began driving eight years ago.
