Car Insurance Going Up!
Looks like they're thinking of changing the Insurance Groupings (again!)
And this bit is worth noting...

Weighty issue
Crucially, the weight of vehicles will be taken into account for the first time. It stands to reason that the heavier the vehicle, the greater the potential for the driver to be liable for injury or damage to third parties in a collision. This could mean insurance price hikes for 4x4s or so-called Chelsea tractors and will come as a blow to those who genuinely need 4x4s because of their work or location.
'Certain 4x4s, although sustaining little damage themselves in a collision, can inflict considerable injury/damage to others. Vehicle manufacturers are becoming ever more sophisticated in the way they segment the market, creating more and more niches,' says an ABI spokesman.
