David Cameron pledges action to cut car whiplash claims

The government will tighten the rules on car insurance to reduce claims for whiplash and bring the cost of premiums down, David Cameron is to say.

As he hosts a meeting in Downing Street with insurance, consumer and business groups, the prime minister will say he wants to stop "trivial claims".

Insurers say whiplash claims cost their industry £2 billion a year and add £90 to the average annual bill.

They want to see a minimum speed below which a whiplash claim can be rejected.

Number 10 said Britain had become "the whiplash capital of Europe", with 1,500 claims a day for even the most minor accidents.
