Drivers ignore car insurance law

Thu, 17 Jan 2008

According to a recent investigation by the Evening News, as many as 10,000 people in Norfolk are flouting car insurance laws and driving without insurance . The criminals, the report argues, drive safe in the belief that car insurance is more expensive than the fine for being caught without.

However, police and driving authorities are working closely together to make the penalties for driving without insurance more severe. Experts indicate that uninsured drivers are more likely to crash, and they cost law-abiding, insured drivers more by adding to motor insurance premiums.

Road campaigners and charities for road safety made it clear that the penalties for driving without car insurance should be a lot stiffer. Currently, the maximum fine for driving without car insurance is a £5,000 fine, with the possibility of being disqualified from driving .

The report indicates a national problem on a much grander scale.
