Uninsured driving 'dangerous'

Young drivers need to see insurance as a legal requirement rather than an added option.

According to Susan Beck, head of communications at the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB), although the profile of uninsured drivers varies, in particular young males between 18-21 drive without insurance.

Ms Beck also said that it was up to driving instructors and schools to "really engage with the drivers of tomorrow" in order to give them a better understanding of the necessity of insurance.

"There are lots of new products in the market, which are designed to make insurance more affordable for younger less experienced drivers," she said.

She added: "We have got to get into the psyche of young people and get them to understand that using the road can be a dangerous activity and that insurance is not an option; it is a legal requirement and essential."

The MIB has also identified how the problem of uninsured driving is more prevalent in inner city areas such as Manchester, Birmingham and London.
