Uninsured motorists 'must be taken off the road'

More action needs to be taken to remove drivers without car insurance from the roads.

That is according to Emily Moxon, spokeswoman for Brake, who said that those who do use the roads without sufficient cover pose a threat to the safety of law abiding citizens who have a policy in place.

"People who drive uninsured are more likely to take risks, crash and flee from the scene if they do hit someone. It is vital that we see action to remove these highly irresponsible and illegal drivers from our roads," she said.

Ms Moxon went on to add that driving is dangerous and that every person who uses the road has a duty to protect themselves and other motorists as well.

Recent research from Direct Line and road safety charity Brake has revealed that more than 3.3 million drivers have been involved in a collision with a motorist who was uninsured.
