Bet mine won't. I'm insured with the AA, ironically.

Average. But those who don't pay much due to a large no claims bonus will save much less.

Mine certainly won't, given I ran into the back of someone shortly after renewing last year.

I reversed into a car on Friday - my first prang in about 15 years, I think. My rear bumper is scratched, and his entire front end disintegrated - which seems par for the course when a VW reverses into a Vauxhall. :|

On topic - I wonder if the decline in premiums is driven by the insurance firms offering black box discounts? Mind you, a £100 average reduction is nothing - many if not the vast majority of 17-22 year olds are paying four figure premiums.

Hope they don't go back up again by September.
