3. Impact of uninsured driving
It is estimated that uninsured and untraced drivers kill 130 people and injure 26,500 every year
Research shows uninsured drivers are five times more likely to:
- be involved in road collisions
- fail to comply with other road traffic requirements
- be engaged in other criminal activity
We know that by tackling uninsured driving we disrupt other criminality
