Motor insurance rules in need of a shake-up

The government has been urged to make it illegal to own an uninsured vehicle.

This proposed shake-up of the motor insurance rules comes from the Association of British Insurers (ABI).

The ABI believes the government needs to get tough with drivers, who don't insure their vehicles to improve road safety and protect law-abiding drivers.

Under the proposals being the owner of an uninsured vehicle would become a criminal offence.

At the moment it is illegal to drive a car without insurance, but offenders have to be caught in the act.
