Credit crunch suggestion 1
Uninsured drivers
We should have a purge on uninsured drivers, with a fine of £500 and the cars siezed and sold. At an average sale price of £1,000 per sale we could raise between £1,500 million and £3,000 million, at least. That should help the coffers and also improve the air quality, which apparantly would help NHS costs. It would also make insurance cheaper for the law abiding.
The government estimates that there are over one million vehicles on our roads without insurance and/or tax. The government is also promoting several “initiatives” to persuade motorists to use public transport and ease congestion.
The government are now quoting an estimate of 2 million uninsured drivers on our roads.
Given that in a recent London crackdown large quantities of drugs and expensive cars were seized, surely the message has been received that this activity is closely linked with major crime. Also are the police and the government not missing a trick here as this sort of crackdown probably made a profit.
Why are we not doing this? The priority on all counts should be to remove these estimated one/two million illegal vehicles.
