Safe drivers deserve a better deal

THE call by Consumer Affairs director Carmel Foley on insurance companies to cut premiums for drivers with no penalty points is guaranteed to win popular support.

To date, only Hibernian Insurance has offered a 10% cut in premiums as a reward for drivers with a clean record.

In a timely move, Ms Foley has thrown down the gauntlet, urging all insurance companies to exceed the 10% offer.
