Report concludes drivers have 'been thrown to the wolves' over car insurance

Car owners hit with up to 300% insurance hikes have been “thrown to the wolves” of the insurance sector by State institutions who are charged with protecting them, a damning report has found.

Insurance companies are heavily criticised by the report which states that a “closed mentality” and unwillingness to share data is a contributory factor to the recent rise in motor insurance premiums, writes Daniel McConnell of the Irish Examiner.
