This article on myfinances.co.uk says that uninsured driving adds £30 per year to every car insurance policy.
The research was done by moneysupermarket.com (so it’s more of a survey than “research”). Apparently, 17% of motorists has driven a car they aren’t insured to drive. 7% say they’ve driven their own car uninsured, and another 7% said they’ve driven someone else’s uninsured.
A quarter of these reckoned they didn’t know it was illegal.
A third reckoned they did it because they were “between policies”.
Thinking of that last topic I posted, I’m reminded of that American spoof story which claimed that an IQ test was going to be required to get a driver’s licence.
If we introduced one here, we’d take at least 4.5 million cars off the roads.
It makes you think, doesn’t it?
