Fewer drivers prosecuted for uninsured driving

The average fine for uninsured driving has fallen by more than a fifth since Labour came to power, figures released to Parliament have shown.

The average fine has fallen to £177, from an average of £224 in 1997. There has also been a decrease in the number of uninsured drivers taken to court, according to the Home Office figures. These showed that the number of cases against uninsured drivers fell from 397,133 in 1997 to 392,763 in 2005, the latest year for which both statistics are available.

The Conservative party has called for tougher measures against uninsured drivers in response to the figures.

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.
