Dont Get Caught Without Car Insurance


It is a strict legal requirement that you must have car insurance if you intend to drive anywhere within the United Kingdom. If you were to be stopped by the police and were unable to present such documentation, you can expect to receive some quite harsh punitive measures.

car insurance is not a matter of choice - it is an imperative requirement. Despite the fact that this well known law is well and truly in place, this does not seem to have reduced the statistic of more than 1 million drivers actually not having their car insured.

This is a very frightening fact and is proof that the police and government are not doing enough to ensure that everyone complies.

The DVLA and TV Licence authorities have a database that will send out instant fines to individuals that are not paying their relevant dues. Surely it is therefore time for a new database to be introduced for car insurance purposes? After all, despite the fact the police cannot really be bothered with this, it is the insured drivers involved in accidents that end up carrying the can for these car insurance thieves.
