It does. My sister lived in the UK for 3 or 4 years. Coming back and trying to even get car insurance was almost impossible. Only 1 company would cover her at all, and she paid through the nose for that. I think she ended up with something like $1500 or so for a late model Chrysler minivan. Or maybe $2k. Not 100% sure.
