YOUNG drivers in Gloucester are campaigning against ever increasing car insurance deals.

Ribston Hall High School, in Stroud Road, sixth form pupils Charlotte Perkins, 17, Laura Ballard, 18, and Muhammad Hansdot, 17, have launched a campaign to ban 'no win, no fee' claim adverts.

They feel that opportunistic and even fraudulent claims are driving up the price of car insurance and affecting their ability to insure cars as first-time drivers.

Muhammad said: "We have sent a letter to David Cameron, although we don't expect him to write back, but we are serious about this.

"We have put posters up around the school as well. A lot of people in sixth form drive now.

"Our main aim is to warn people about these 'no win no fee' people."

No win, no fee lawsuits have arisen recently with lawyers cashing in on injury claims.

The insurance companies been forced to squeeze their customers as a result of paying out large sums to lawyers. Therefore, premiums have grown expensive for youngsters.

"It is so expensive," added Muhammad.

"How do they expect anyone to be able to afford to drive?"
