Worst areas of UK car insurance evasion revealed
Considering how cheap it can be to get an online car insurance deal, the number of uninsured drivers in the UK is surprisingly high. As a result, the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB) has undertaken a study to reveal in what areas of the country the problem of driving without car insurance is the greatest.
The MIB compiled a "top 10" list of the places with the worst records for uninsured driving and discovered some clear trends.
West Gorton in Manchester came top of the list, with the number of motorists who do not have car insurance exceeding the national average by a massive six times There was another entry for Manchester as the M8 district was ranked 10th in the list.
Manchester was not the only city that appeared more than once in the top 10. In fact, Liverpool and Bradford both got two mentions, whilst a shocking three areas of Birmingham were rated as being high above the national norm. The Tottenham area of London made up the remaining spot in the top 10 list, having over four times the number of drivers without motor insurance than average.
Ashton West, the chief executive of the MIB, said, "Together with the police, we will make it increasingly tougher for uninsured motorists in these areas to escape detection.
"Now that the police know where the highest proportions of uninsured motorists are, they can focus their resources and make life very difficult for these criminals."
Corrine Aldous of duck2water Car Insurance Services commented, "Don't even think about driving without a valid policy - get a cheap online car insurance deal instead. Illegal motoring just isn't worth it."
