Police Scotland crackdown will seize cars from uninsured drivers

Uninsured drivers in Scotland could have their car seized

Drivers in Scotland are being urged to make sure they have valid insurance or risk losing their vehicle as part of a police crackdown.

From Monday, January 21, Police Scotland is staging a week-long operation to remove uninsured drivers from the roads.

Police use records from the Motor Insurance Beureau (MIB) to check a driver’s insurance status at the roadside. The MIB estimates that around 130 people are killed and more than 26,000 are left injured as a result of uninsured and hit and run drivers.
