The British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA) welcomes the new warning letters that will be sent as of today to registered keepers identified as having an uninsured vehicle under the new Continuous Insurance Enforcement (CIE) Law.
The new CIE law makes it is an offence to keep an uninsured vehicle, unless it has a Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN) or is exempt and is in addition to the existing offence of driving without insurance.
Graeme Trudgill, BIBA Head of Corporate Affairs, said: “The enforcement of the new law is a bold move to tackle uninsured driving and will make the roads safer. Anyone receiving this new letter should check the Motor Insurance Database at the ask.MID website and speak to their insurance provider to see if their vehicle is recorded correctly on the database. If insurance is required they can contact the BIBA Find a Broker service at www.biba.org.uk or 0870 950 1790.
“BIBA is delighted to have been involved in this important change to motor insurance law, this is a big step forward for the industry and for road safety.”
Both consumer and broker guides on Continuous Insurance Enforcement are available on the BIBA website.
