More than half a million cars have been seized since 2018 owing to a lack of insurance, a new study has found. An AA Insurance Freedom of Information request to all 46 police forces across the UK found that 542,370 vehicles have been taken away from drivers for not having insurance since 2018.
Gus Park, managing director for AA Insurance Services, said: “Every driver is worried about being involved in a collision, but worse still is the other party being uninsured. Sadly, we know that when times are hard some people try to cut their costs, and one area people are tempted to chance it, is cutting out their motor insurance. However, these figures show that forces across the country are on the lookout and will take uninsured cars away.
