Road safety minister: new measures will leave uninsured drivers with "nowhere to hide"
New powers to tackle uninsured drivers who cost law-abiding motorists £400m each year were set out by road safety minister Jim Fitzpatrick today.
The new measures will make it an offence to keep an uninsured vehicle - rather than just to drive when uninsured - making it easier to catch uninsured drivers and keep them off the roads.
