Over 96% of brokers want to see tougher penalties, including prison sentences for repeat offenders who drive without insurance, according to a survey by Biba.

Around half of members surveyed said they thought that car seizure was the best deterrent for uninsured drivers, while 28% favored prison sentences.

Graeme Trudgill, technical services manager at Biba, said: “Our members see the effects of uninsured driving on their clients everyday. Not only do uninsured drivers add an estimated £30 to every motor policy premium of honest motorists, but they pose a threat to our road safety that is not acceptable.”

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
