A crushing blow to uninsured drivers!

This is an old story but I have only been alerted to it by doing this sponsored post.

Apparently UK police are undertaking an initiative whereby they will seize and crush your car if you are caught without insurance.

This article from the bbc says that:

Insurers reckon that for every fatal road traffic collision involving an uninsured driver, the taxpayer foots a bill of about £1.6m dealing with the aftermath

I guess this initiative is good news all round, especially for the insurance companies! Maybe with all the increased insurance applications the rates will go down, ha ha!

I am only being vindictive because I know that being of a young age car insurance always seems unfairly prices. A lot of this is due to the fact that us young'uns are more often than not the most irresponsible of the insurance groupings. Over 50s Car Insurance however is another story due to the fact that they tend to be more responsible and less likely to be driving flashy over the top vehicles.

I can't drive so right now it's not an issue I need to deal with!
