Police in uninsured car crackdown

Police in Handsworth, West Midlands, are to launch an offensive against motorists who drive illegally without car insurance.

Car insurance has been compulsory in the UK since 1930 but the Department for Transport estimates that one in 20 motorists risk driving without it.

According to the Motor Insurers' Bureau, uninsured drivers add on average '30 to car insurance premiums of law-abiding drivers.

PC Andrew Webber of the road policing unit remarked: "Many unlicensed vehicles also have no insurance, no MOT certificates and are often committing other road safety offences."

"Their removal from the streets will have a direct impact on road safety and will improve the quality of life for people living in the area," he added.

As part of Operation Warrior, West Midlands Police are asking members of the public to provide details of cars without tax and motor insurance policies.
