Uninsured levy could be reduced

Money News reports that the British Insurance Brokers Association (BIBA) has said the £30 levy on car insurance policies to cover uninsured drivers could be reduced.

Money Newsreports that uninsured drivers present a massive problem to the insurance industry with uninsured drivers ten times more likely to have a drink-driving conviction and six times more likely to be driving an unsafe vehicle. A BIBA spokesman has indicated that if new measures to combat drivers without cover made a “dent”, then the levy would theoretically decline. — Money News 11-09-08
