Senior drivers
- Car
Insurance
Despite being more experienced
than most drivers on the country's roads these days,
it is senior drivers who appear to get a raw deal at
the hands of the insurers. But that may not always
be the case.
There are about a
quarter-of-a-million drivers aged 80 and above
entitled to drive on UK roads, with each and every
one needing insurance to get behind the wheel. That
is unless they want to risk facing a date in court.
There are many
stigmas about senior drivers becoming more dangerous
in their advancing years, but there are also those
with unblemished records who feel they are being
penned into the same high insurance cost category
without just cause.
But with the advent
of convenient shopping on the Internet or over the
phone, older drivers now have more opportunity than
ever to shop around for a better deal, one that may
reflect their driving record and not just their date
of birth.
With many insurance
companies being branded ageist in recent times,
there is now a greater range of policies on offer to
suit individual needs to ensure people are not
forced off the road because their age has bumped up
the price.
