The view of Swinton, the biggest insurance broker on the high street, is that drivers with six points plus on their licence will soon be the norm, categorised as standard.
With the advent of the speed camera and the often scandalously low speeds at which they are set to trigger, Swinton feel it is not right to automatically penalise drivers because of these points. Bearing in mind the fact that approximately six million drivers have points on their licence, which is over ten percent of the whole population of the country, the approach from the insurer seems a very fair and sensible one.
Swinton are taking the view that the driver with six points on their licence today is as safe as the one who had three points five years ago and no points ten years ago. We just hope other insurers follow suit.

Along with all the other price rises consumers are seeing this latest one just reiterates how the cost of living is spiralling ever higher.
The best advice upon seeing these results is to shop around said AA Insurance. Look at different car insurance providers, having an increased voluntary excess or removing some of the features that are not needed. Following some of these steps may help keep that motor insurance bill down and save money.
The people at Tesco Finance feel that the best car insurance for a family should include cover for child seats and other family safety fitments.
Tesco considered this situation as part of their support for Child Safety Week and as they offer car insurance they felt it right to discuss this particular matter. Everyone knows how important it is to ensure all appropriate safety measures are taken so it should be an integral part of any car insurance policy that cover is provided for child seats, booster seats and so on.
It is quite easy to check many car insurance terms at once through comparison services, where Tesco car insurance will be listed alongside other providers. This gives the facility to assess different options and find the most suitable blend of price and features.
