Drivers in Scotland are being warned that the police are on the look-out for uninsured vehicles on the country’s roads. Police officers are launching a crack-down on uninsured vehicles, and plan to seize vehicles to discourage the problem from getting worse.

Legal Requirements

It is Illegal to drive without at least third party
insurance in the UK. Despite this, the police estimate that there are as many
as 40,000 people driving without insurance in Scotland. If the police catch you
driving without insurance, they could seize your vehicle, and put it in the
impound.

Catching Drivers Out

Operation Drive is what the police are calling their latest
attempt to discourage people from driving without insurance. The police are
working with the Motor Insurer’s Bureau to expand their knowledge of who might
be driving without insurance.

The Bureau keeps a list of people who it believes are not
complying with the law. You might have received a letter from them if you don’t
have proper insurance. Now, however, they are working together with the police
to help them identify potential illegal drivers.

What Do You Need to Do?

If the police catch you driving without insurance, they can
seize and impound your car. If your car is in the impound, you need special
insurance to get it out. Regular car insurance won’t cover you. Instead, you
need impounded car insurance.

Impounded Car Insurance gives you the cover that both the
police and the impound require you to have to get your car back. At Alternative
Insurance Brokers, we specialise in finding the best cover for people who need
Seized Car Insurance.

Some people sell one day impounded policies, but many
impounds will not accept these. We only sell 30 day policies, which everyone
should accept, and make sure you have enough time to get your car back if
anything unexpected happens.

We search the market as wide as we can, to find policies to help you out. If the police in Scotland seize your car, contact us, and we will know what to do. Give us a call at 0161 388 2520 and we can find you a quote on a policy that will work for you.
