MPs this week tabled a motion in support of the ABI's campaign to clamp down on uninsured drivers.
Five MPs, including Alan Duncan and Damian Green, signed the early day motion, “that this House welcomes the safer, cheaper legal campaign by the Association of British Insurers to draw attention to the UK's high levels of uninsured driving and to promote policy proposals contained in submissions to the Greenaway Review established by the Department of Transport; notes that in Britain approximately 5% of motorists on the roads are currently driving without insurance, which costs policyholders around £500m a year in compensation payments for injury or property damage equivalent to around £30 on every motor premium; recognises that systems need to be introduced to stop such practices which cause misery and damaged lives to many; and calls upon the government quickly to establish links between the existing DVLA and motor insurance databases, so that a system of continuous monitoring and enforcement can be introduced.”
