Twelve
locations in the UK's top 20 uninsured driving hotspots
are in the West Midlands according to research undertaken
for the Motor Insurers' Bureau or MIB. Nic Houslip
spotted this news in the September 2012 issue of
the MIB newsletter called "The Road Ahead".
The top hotspot is Bordesley Green in Birmingham
and Nic says "for my part I think I'll stay
away from Bordesley!"
The surprising news in the MIB newsletter is the
millionth uninsured vehicle was seized |
| on
21st August 2012. The newsletter adds "a number
of other motorists were also ordered to stop as
police conducted an operation to disrupt criminal
activity in the area. The police have sustained
operations since they were granted powers to seize
uninsured vehicles in 2005 and of the 400 vehicles
that are now seized each day, it is estimated that
30% are crushed. Bordesley (B9) in Birmingham has
been identified as the worst UK hotspot for uninsured
driving and continues to dominate the hotspot ranks
with eight times the number of motorists driving
vehicles without insurance compared to the national
average. You
can see a copy of the MIB newsletter with the table
of the top hotspots. More
