Insurance on the other side of the pond

More of that proof that we’re being ripped off. As if we didn’t know it already. Taken from today’s Irish Examiner opinion section;

I LIVE in California where the motoring world is a very fast jungle.

I have had no speeding tickets in three years.

I only pay $200 a year for each of my vehicles, a 1970 Volkswagen pop-top Housekamper, and a small 1989 Honda Civic. Unlike Ireland, as my cars grow older, the insurance costs go down.

I have no clue as to why Ireland has such outrageous premiums, especially for older cars that are not vintage.

I wouldnt mind paying €200 to insure my bike for a year.
