peer agreement (net): +3increased Explanation: To "push up" in this context means that the insurance premiums have increased or become higher. Younger drivers are associated with risky behaviors, such as speeding, drinking while driving, etc. (leading to more accidents). Therefore many insurance companies charge more for insurance when it is known that a young person will be driving the car. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 26 mins (2016-12-18 04:35:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In this sentence, it is implied that the young drivers have actually engaged in behaviors that increased their premiums even further. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 28 mins (2016-12-18 04:38:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Regardless of what the young people did, however, the meaning of the sentence is: through their use of this vehicle, insurance for it is now higher. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 29 mins (2016-12-18 04:38:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Higher = costs more |
