Drivers should be given "five minutes grace" after their parking tickets expire before facing fines, MPs on the Commons transport committee say. It also said councils in England should publish annual parking-charge accounts if they want to prove they are not being used as a "cash cow" The Transport Committee warned it was "neither acceptable nor legal" to use fines to increase revenue. Councils made a surplus of hundreds of millions of pounds each year, it added. The MPs urged ministers to freeze charges, currently capped at £130 in London and £70 outside. Councils said money raised went back into services. Committee chairman, Labour MP Louise Ellman, said: "There is a deep-rooted public perception that parking enforcement is used as a cash cow, so it's essential that local authorities apply stringent transparency." 'Hard to justify' The report said the Local Government Association had calculated a surplus from on- and off-street parking of £411m in 2011/12, while the RAC Foundation put the figure at £565m. The maximum fixed penalty for speeding is £60, unless the case is referred to court. Mrs Ellman argued the charging system was perverse, saying: "Annual parking accounts would allow the public to see how much local revenue is derived from the enforcement of fines, and what proportion of this come from on- or off-street parking charges. "It's right that parking charges be determined locally, but hard to justify fines that substantially exceed penalties for more serious offences like speeding. "Central government should freeze the maximum penalty charge and develop differential fines for less serious parking violations. " Mrs Ellman also said the Department for Transport's rules for councils should include a five-minute "grace-and-favour" period after tickets expire before imposing a fine. A government spokesman said: "We welcome this report, which strengthens the case for changes to be made to parking rules. "The law is clear. Parking is not a tax or cash cow for local councils. This government is reining in over-zealous parking enforcement and unfair parking practices, with the levels of parking penalty charges being kept under review." But Peter Box, chairman of the Local Government Association's economy and transport board, said: "As this report recognises, parking controls are not being used by councils to raise revenue. They are essential for keeping motorists and pedestrians safe, traffic flowing and ensure people can park near their homes and local shops." He added: "Councils always look to be open and transparent with residents on their parking policies. "Any income they make from charges and fines is spent on running parking services, fixing potholes and providing subsidised travel to children and the elderly." Last month, the government said it was considering banning fixed cameras and so-called "spy cars" used by councils to catch people parking illegally. http://www.bbc.co.uk...litics-24629614

The cost of car insurance plummeted by an average of 12.4pc over the last year, marking the steepest annual price falls in over 20 years. The latest AA British Insurance Premium Index, which details quarterly price changes in motor insurance premiums, showed the average cost of annual comprehensive cover fell from £648.61 at the end of September 2012 to £568.32 at the same time this year. This is the biggest annual drop in premiums since the Index started in 1994. Drivers aged 23-29 saw the biggest falls in their annual premiums, down 15.5pc to £704 over the last 12 months. Young and old drivers saw the smallest premium reductions overall. Drivers aged 17-22 saw their annual premiums fall 4.6pc to £1,198.96 on average over the last year, while drivers aged 70 and over saw their premiums fall 4.8pc to £413.11. Women have not benefitted from falling premiums as much as men thanks to last December’s European Court of Justice gender ruling. It insisted all insurance premiums must be gender neutral, which pushed up prices for females who were previously seen as safer drivers and offered lower premiums. Regionally, drivers in Scotland saw the biggest premium falls over the past quarter - 5.5pc to £424.04. Scotland remains by far the cheapest place to insure a car in the UK. The smallest reduction was in East Anglia, where drivers saw a 1.4pc fall to £538.64. Premiums for third party, fire and theft cover also fell, but remain far higher than the cost of comprehensive insurance. This reflects the type of motorists that typically buy this type of cover – usually young, inexperienced drivers. The average cost of third party, fire and theft cover fell 6.4pc from £856.83 to £801.76 over the last 12 months. Simon Douglas, director of AA Insurance, said the car insurance market has become intensely competitive. He added that many insurers are reducing rates based on anticipated savings from efforts to crack down on claims management firms, plus increased efforts to tackle insurance fraud. Justice Minister Chris Grayling today announced a crackdown on whiplash injury fraud. He said bogus compensation claims that have helped to force up average motor insurance premiums will be targeted by new independent medical panels which will assess whiplash claims. Mr Douglas said: “The insurance industry is working hard with enforcement agencies to bring those attempting to make fraudulent injury claims to book. Indeed, there have been some recent widely-publicised arrests of criminal gangs deliberately causing crashes through ‘crash for cash’ and its new variation, ‘flash for cash’ scams in order to cash in on insurers by making false whiplash injury claims against innocent motorists. “Honest motorists have been putting up with their premiums being affected by false or exaggerated injury claims for far too long. There has been a lot of talking and investigation into the car insurance market. Now premiums are reflecting anticipated law changes.†In a separate move, insurers will be able to obtain driver data direct from the DVLA from next year and most insurers are expected to start asking drivers for their driver number, listed on driving licenses. This is expected to bring savings of around £15 for the cost of a typical car insurance policy as it will help to stamp out false declarations of driving experience and driving convictions. In July, figures released by the Association of British Insurers (ABI) showed £1.1bn of fraudulent insurance claims were lodged in 2012, up £110 million on the year before. The level of fraud was nearly double that recorded in 2007 and was driven by a surge in false whiplash claims. The (ABI) said fraudulent motor insurance claims totalled £610m, 55 per cent of the total, from 42,700 dishonest claims. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/insurance/motorinsurance/10396910/Cost-of-car-insurance-falls-at-fastest-rate-in-20-years.html

Fake whiplash claimants are facing a fresh crackdown under Government plans to tackle the rising cost of motoring in Britain. Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said the measures would cut insurance premiums for all drivers by targeting "whiplash fraudsters". From now on only evidence from accredited professionals will be considered when whiplash claims are assessed. The Government also plans to freeze the price of an MOT at £54.85 until 2015 and motorway service stations will be forced to advertise their petrol prices on signs along the route to increase competition. "We are turning the tide on the compensation culture and helping hard-working people by tackling high insurance premiums and other motoring costs," said Mr Grayling. "We have already helped families by cutting income tax for 25 million people by raising their personal allowance, by freezing council tax and by helping with tax free childcare for example. But we want to do more. "It's not right that people who cheat the insurance system get away with it while forcing up the price for everyone else, so we are now going after whiplash fraudsters and will keep on driving premiums down." There were more than 500,000 whiplash claims in the UK last year, costing the insurance industry some £2bn. Roads minister Robert Goodwill said: "The costs of owning and running a car are felt by millions of households and businesses across the nation. The Government is determined to help keep those costs down. "That is why we are freezing the price for an MOT test and looking again at the costs associated with getting a driving licence. "We also want to make it easier for people to get a better deal on fuel at motorway service stations, for instance through a trial of motorway signs that will show motorists the different fuel prices on offer on their route." New statistics from the AA show motor insurance premiums are now falling at the fastest rate since 1994 - a fall of 12.3% in the year to October for an average comprehensive insurance policy, from £648 in October 2012 to £568 in October 2013. Each whiplash compensation payout costs an average of £2,400 insurers say, with an additional £2,000 in legal costs. http://news.sky.com/...nsurance-claims
