“Rising paint prices and higher energy costs were among the reasons for a leap in the cost of motor insurance late last year, a trade body has said.”

Not entirely, not by a long straw.

As with private medical insurance, the "arrangement" made between the providers and insurers is a commercial juggling performance to see how many golden balls can be maintained in the air before becomeing financially unsustainable.

Fees to the end-point industry will be arranged on the basis of what insurance co. can afford from a ponzi scheme that eventually skewers the punter, being very little more than an unproductive risk promoting middlemanaging 'handler'.....I am reminded of 'futures brokers'.

Insurance companies appear to by doing what insurance companies do, namely, rorting the punter, largely based on fear. The industries thrive while the company survives and the punter is eviscerated. Then there is a plague of ESG virtue signalling insurance corporates ready to comply with the eradication of private car ownership.

.....And still the sheeple and mushrooms doze.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the annual insurance is more than the car's value?
