What is Continuous Insurance Enforcement and what do I need to do?
The Department for Transport have introduced Continuous Insurance Enforcement (CIE). This new scheme will compare vehicles on the Motor Insurance Database MID with DVLA/DVANI records to identify potentially uninsured vehicles. From 2011, if there is no record on the MID showing your vehicle is insured, and you have not declared it as ‘off road’, you will receive a letter warning you that you could face a fine, prosecution, and the vehicle could also be clamped, seized and ultimately, destroyed. This new approach is being introduced to protect honest motorists and do even more to prevent people from driving without insurance. What do I need to do? The good news is, if you are insured with QUINN-direct, there is no need to worry. Quinn-direct Insurance currently upload your policy details to the MID, however, it would be good to get into the habit of checking that your vehicle details are correct on the MID. This will avoid the inconvenience of you being unnecessarily contacted or worse,
