People who need modified car insurance 'unlikely to get away with breaking the law'

Motorists, including those with the kind of vehicles which require specific modified car insurance, will find it more difficult to get away with driving without cover, it has been claimed.

According to the Association of British Insurers (ABI), the increased use of technology by police forces has increased their success in catching those who break the law.

It stated an automatic number plate recognition system and a database of every UK car insurance policy is making it easier for the authorities to trap offenders.

Malcolm Tarling from ABI said - after the police pull a driver over - they can tell within minutes if that motorist is insured.

He added: "There is none of this having to produce your insurance certificate within seven days, you can tell from the computer screen if you have got cover or not."

Figures from the Motor Insurers' Bureau have revealed those people who get behind the wheel without insurance add £30 to the annual premium of every honest driver.
