Multitude of uninsured drivers risk fines and prosecution

Large numbers of British drivers are risking fines and even prosecution by driving without insurance, MoneyExpert.com has found.

According to the independent price comparison site, nearly 350,000 motorists have broken the law by getting behind the wheel without adequate cover.

Of those surveyed who admitted to driving without insurance, 46 per cent said it was simply an oversight due to the fact that their insurance had lapsed.

Meanwhile 11 per cent cited an emergency in which they had to drive someone else's car and the same amount admitted that it was deliberate.

According to the Motor Insurer's Bureau, the cost of uninsured drivers adds £30 to the average annual premium of an honest driver.

Sean Gardner of MoneyExpert.com said: "It's a real worry that many people persist in driving without insurance. They are putting the personal and financial security of others at risk."

The latest AA Insurance Index recorded a slight fall in the average premium quoted for car insurance over the last few months, down £3 from the end of 2007 to £682.
