The Motor Insurers’ Bureau has launched the Stay Insured campaign to help all drivers who may be wavering when it comes to renewing their insurance policies - especially as 3 in 4 drivers look for ways to reduce motor insurance costs due to increased financial pressures. 

Natalie Pinkham, host of ‘You’re Nicked’ and ‘Police Interceptors’ is the campaign's ambassador, helping to highlight the consequences of driving without insurance which include: vehicle seized by police, six licence penalty points, and a £200 penalty.

A new research report from MIB shows:

• 1 in 10 18-34 year old drivers are unaware that car insurance is a legal requirement
• 3 in 4 drivers are currently looking for ways to reduce motor insurance costs
• About 900,000 drivers under the age of 30 are currently driving without insurance
• 60% of drivers think they are likely to be caught and only 7% are aware of all the possible consequences when they are caught.

The Motor Insurance Database lies at the heart of being able to detect uninsured drivers and is used by the police to seize about 500 uninsured vehicles a day.
