Car owners face an automatic £200 fine and six penalty points on their licence
More than 1,400 uninsured vehicles have been seized to date this year for being driven with no insurance on roads across Northern Ireland, it has emerged.
The driver detected will have received both a £200 on the spot fine and six penalty points on their driving licence. “Other drivers have been detected using their vehicle for for business or reward purposes, some have ‘simply forgotten’ to renew policies, so it is critically important that all drivers check they have the appropriate insurance cover in place before they take to the road.
“Any police officer can stop a vehicle, and perform a series of checks at the roadside to see if it is insured. Where they reasonably suspect there is no insurance cover in place, they can seize the vehicle.
