Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I guess that's essentially the hidden question in my original comment. "Is there enough healthy competition in the market that this will bring benefits to good drivers."
No and even if there was, algorithmic price fixing leads the way. There is no free market force in insurance
Why not? What anti-competitive mechanisms exist there?
