Uninsured Drivers
EDM number 86 in 2005-06, proposed by Alan Duncan on 17/05/2005.
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 the UK approximately five per cent. of motorists on the roads are currently driving without insurance, which costs policyholders around £500 million 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 Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority and motor insurance databases, so that a system of continuous monitoring and enforcement can be introduced.
This motion has been signed by a total of 106 MPs.
