Fines not deterring the uninsured.

Paltry court fines averaging £300 – ‘a fraction’ of the cost of most insurance policies are being blamed for the massive increase in motorists driving without insurance. The low fines are unlikely to deter the persistent uninsured driver and are tempting people into thinking that driving without insurance is a financial risk worth taking.

The fixed penalty charge for driving uninsured is £300, a rise from £200 since August 2013, and 6 penalty points. If the case goes to court this fine could increase and could be accompanied with a driving ban.

The average fine issued by the courts for uninsured driving in 2015 was just £322, excluding fixed penalties issued by the police. And despite penalties increasing, the court fines remain a fraction of the £5000 maximum.
