Car insurance: Uninsured drivers 'make roads more dangerous for everyone'

Friday, 03 October 2008

Motorists who fail to buy car insurance before hitting the road do not care about the effect their actions have on other drivers, the Association of British Insurers (ABI) has claimed.

A spokesperson for the organisation said people breaking the law were probably unconcerned honest individuals were paying the price by shelling out more for premiums.

In addition, he added the fact the high number of drivers without cover was making it harder to find low cost motor insurance deals was not the only issue arising from the phenomenon.

"Uninsured drivers are much more likely to be involved in accidents, more likely to be drink driving and more likely to be driving an un-roadworthy vehicle," he pointed out.

Driving without the necessary legal protection is not a victimless crime, the spokesperson concluded.

The ABI represents the whole of the UK's insurance industry and speaks out about issues it regards as being of importance.
