The Association of British Insurers has welcomed the government crackdown on uninsured drivers that was unveiled earlier today.

Stephen Haddrill, the ABI's director general, said: "Uninsured motorists will now start to feel the full effect of the crackdown on this danger.

As more police forces adopt the new technology, uninsured drivers will find it harder than ever to flout the law.

Ridding our roads of this menace will not only improve road safety, but reduce the cost for honest motorists, who pay up to an extra £30 a year on their insurance as a result of accidents involving uninsured motorists."
