    Police take nationwide stand against uninsured drivers

    Wednesday, 2 October 2019 10:40

    Police officers across the country are aiming to stamp out uninsured driving by joining forced in a month-long campaign designed to crack down on motorists driving without insurance.

    Operation Drive Insured has been developed between the Motor Insurers’ Bureau and the National Police Chiefs Council’s National Roads Policing Intelligence forum.

    The operation will last throughout the month of October and will see a significant increase in police utilising their ability to seize uninsured drivers’ vehicles, with a view to helping improve road safety, as well as raising awareness regarding the issue.

    The campaign follows the continued high rate of collisions caused by drivers on the roads without insurance.

    Speaking on the campaign Chief Constable Anthony Bangham, National Police Chiefs Council Lead, said: "This coordinated NPCC campaign highlights the issue of uninsured driving and anyone stopped by the police who is not insured can expect to have their vehicle seized and face a substantial fine as a consequence."
