I read somewhere that the average electric car is £150 - £200 per year more to insure than the equivalent fossil fuel powered one. :eek:

I expect when we have self drive cars it will be even higher

I suspect the reality is 'which gets nicked the most'.

After all, two are relics for The Industrial Revolution, the other is 75% on the way to being a car.

The word "Sport" is a red rag to a bull where insurance is concerned.

Amazingly it was not the word sport that they do not like, but that it is a scooter AND has three wheels ( so apparently they view the thing as dangerous cos its nearly a car and scooters get stolen a lot.. the mere fact no one in their right mind would steal one of the ugly POS is a minor detail !!
