Crackdown Begins On Uninsured Drivers

A three day crackdown on uninsured drivers starts today.

From 7am police forces across the country will increase checks on motorists' licences and insurance documents, while also targeting other road safety offences such as speeding, failing to wear a seat belt and using a mobile phone while driving.

There are up to 1.2 million drivers without insurance in the UK. 

People caught could have their car seized and/or be fined 5k.
