Anything to reduce the number of uninsured drivers on our roads would be a good idea.
Most of them seem to be foreign having no regard for our laws.

I work for an insurance company and can tell you that uninsured motorists are five times more likely to be involved in a road accidents than normal insured drivers. Thee guys are also more likely to be involved in drugs, crime and other offences.

My husband is a policeman and he says that Vauxhall Astras and BMW 3 Series cars are the usual give away. If he and his colleague stop one of those, there is a strong chance that it is uninsured.

I am a police patrol officer and agree with Mary’s comment but I would add the Vauxhall Vectra and Corsa to the list.

If you do get caught, they can seize your car but do not usually do that. What can happen is six licence penalty points, which is a real bugger, and a maximum fine of £5,000.

The police seized my car just because I was late with the insurance, which meant that I could not get it taxed.
I had the pay £150 in recovery fees I could get the car back. They then would not let me use it till I had got insurance and tax.

This Government is robbing us blind at every turn they can and for that I will not place my ballot in either the Conservatives or the Liberals who are not following their Manifesto one bit.

It would make very good sense to include insurance and tax but then we have to enforce the tax payment. The papers indicate that there are over a million untaxed cars on the road. I understand that some of these may be on false plates but surely with all our traffic wardens and cameras we can identify a decent percentage of these.
Once we find one then we have to be tough. Take the car, serious fine, stop the benefits, ban from driving. I know the civil liberties people will say that we cannot do any of that but until we wake up, the problem will just continue to grow.

I think this is a fantastic idea, my brother was hit by an uninsured driver and the rigmarole and stress he went through was unreal, it seems nowadays we have to insure ourselves against the uninsured which is completely backward. It is about time these people were made to
pay without the ability to skip it.

This has to be the way forward; it will stop criminals from slipping through loopholes and therefore stop idiot uninsured drivers from causing so many fatalities on the roads.

Any measure to ensure an accident victim is covered by adequate insurance is vital. It may also be that the uninsured driver becomes a victim so adequate cover also vital, otherwise the tax payer gets the bill for their care.

I also work for an insurance company and as Ken commented above uninsured drivers are the ones that are more likely to cause accidents. The reason they have no insurance is because they are usually people that have criminal records therefore are used to breaking the law.
