Help ban whiplash claims to stop insurance price hikes

[RS1T]

As many of you pistonheads may know, fraudulent whiplash claims in the UK are one of the main causes of the massive rises in our motoring insurance prices, and almost nothing is being done about it.

It occurred to me that the only way to actually get something done about this is to start a petition, which if is signed by 100,000 people will be discussed in Parliament. There are already some MPs who are supporters of banning whiplash claims, and having 100,000 signatures supporting their cause can only be a good thing. For the good of all of us motorists, please help the cause by signing my petition here:

It proposes the banning of whiplash claims for sub 10mph collisions (where whiplash is extremely unlikely to occur) and will ensure that doctors must investigate more thoroughly whether a person does actually have whiplash beyond any doubt for any collision before they can make a claim. If this gets passed this could help bring the end to the ridiculous insurance prices and this fraudulent, dishonest and unfair practice that has ingrained itself in our society.

Please share this to all of your friends and other motoring websites that you read. We can only bring change if we work together and spread the word. Thanks for taking the time to help stop this injustice which has been plaguing us honest motorists for too long.

Just to add, here is some conclusive evidence which shows that whiplash injuries do not occur in low speed accidents, just to put the nail in the coffin of the 'What if people actually get whiplash from sub 10mph collisions?' argument.
