I'm fairly old and I have a lot of no claims bonus!
Plus I drive a "sensible car" (Merc B-Class diesel) rather than a pocket rocket.

Most people where I live have sold their diesel cars because of ULEZ
I have a 2.0 litre Honda CRV petrol and my premium for fully comprehensive is £394.54 thats with max NCD

We're just outside, but have to regularly go in, and our car wasn't compliant, but we were fortunate and able to afford to upgrade; not everyone was so lucky. Some of my friends have "modern classics" which they can't really afford to use regularly now.
Another one of my friends lives in the ULEZ. Paradoxically, his recent diesel is compliant, his wife's older petrol car wasn't.

I just got my notice yesterday (Virginia, USA). It went up at least 50% since last year.

interestingly, my son graduated from college last year. about 6 months ago he bought his first car with his own money. Insurance for said car was quite a bit more than he was ready for. He could afford it but after a couple months it went up again. So he started shopping around and suddenly it went back down to lower than before. Insurance is just weird. DW and I pay about 1/3 what he pays
He is a good driver with a clean record and the car is just a 4 door VW Jetta. nothing fancy.

Renewed mine last week, it's gone down £10, now about the same as it was pre-covid (but different, much newer, car). But not like the one year when it went from £250+ to £38. No changes to policy, car, or driver. Just one absurdly cheap year. Anyway at £170 for a 4-year old car, outside London but inside M25, I'm not complaining. Same insurer for about 8 or 9 years now.

Bob's looking rather smart in his Mounty kit, give it a few hours and he'll be rolling around drunk from too much maple syrup mead screaming how Toronto are the best hockey team.
Every year the same.

My sister found? (she was vague) a life sized stone-like statue of a toddler - not like a cupid or anything you'd normally associate with such statues - just a normal toddler. Maybe a 3yo boy in overalls, uniform gray.
I suggested (and the suggestion will probably take) that she display it prominently on her property with a sign that reads "unattended or misbehaving children will be turned to stone."
Her youngest, the 2 year old talks to it.
