How many motorists drive without car insurance?
A survey by a comparison website has revealed that the number of motorists driving uninsured has risen by 33 per cent compared to 2008. Indeed around a fifth of motorists admit to driving without insurance compared to just 15 per cent last year, while incredibly, nine per cent of motorists have shown complete disregard for the law by driving their own car without insurance. A further three per cent confessed to driving without insurance before renewing their policy. This trend, which seems to be provoked by motorists looking to save cash, could prove to be a false economy. If hit by another motorist, only those with comprehensive car insurance can expect to have their car repaired by an insurer and even then they may lose their no-claims discount. Indeed it is estimated that accidents involving uninsured motorists add around 30 to the average motorists premiums. If youre the one driving without insurance then the penalties can be even greater and make the risk far from worthwhile. Anyo
