Biba has secured cross-party support in its battle to make the government rethink its proposals to fine uninsured drivers a "derisory" £100.
The Road Safety Bill introduces an offence of being the keeper of a vehicle which is not insured, unless a statutory declaration is in place to say it will not be used on the roads.
But the fine for this is only £100 - much less than the average cost of a motor policy.Chris Grayling, shadow secretary of state, said: "A £100 fine is not sufficient to address the problem and Biba describes the measure as totally insufficient."
Kevin Hopkins, Labour MP for Luton, said: "The removal of a vehicle and its return only when a heavy fine and the cost of insurance are paid is one way to address that."
Biba's technical services manager Graeme Trudgill said: "The £100 fine is derisory - you get fined £70 just for driving in a bus lane. We hope to be involved in the committee stage to make sure the legislation has some teeth."
He added Biba also wants the government to establish a "visible and effective enforcement agency".
It is estimated there are two million uninsured drivers.
The Bill moves to committee stage next week.
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.
