Honest drivers pay an extra £30 a year because more than a million others do not insure their cars, an influential industry study shows. By 2005, however, they will be forced to pay an extra £60 each.

perhaps the biggest reasons why premiums have gone up are:

1) Claims Direct and such like litigious scum..

2) Repairs seem to be more expensive on modern cars - panels, spraying etc and crumple zones probably increase the proportion that are write-offs..
