Transport written question – answered at on 22 May 2006.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what his Department's estimate is of the number of uninsured motorists driving on public roads in each of the last five years; and what percentage of all drivers this represented in each year.
Our latest estimate is based on a comparison of the vehicle register, maintained by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), and the motor insurance database. It is that there are about 2 million vehicles (about 6 per cent. of the UK vehicle fleet) being driven by uninsured drivers. There are no similar comparisons for earlier years.
