1.7 million people across the UK are driving uninsured, say the Motor Insurers' Bureau. Now they are talking their own book - but presumably these people are driving unlicensed vehicles which are potentially dangerous, as they probably don't have MoTs either.
185,000 uninsured vehicles were seized in 2008. 40% were crushed or sold.
Nationally, over 232,000 people were convicted for driving uninsured last year - one conviction every three minutes. Yet six out of ten believe they will get away with it.Well statistically they probably will! Enforcement isn't keeping up.
Why isn't it a paying proposition for the insurance industry to track down uninsured vehicles themselves? Because they just add £30 to the cost of law-abiding motorists' insurance premiums.
