New laws set to clamp down on those without classic car insurance?

New powers could soon be unveiled to clamp down on people without vehicle cover, which could include classic and retro car insurance.

According to the Department of Transport (DT), uninsured drivers injure 23,000 people each year and road safety minister Mike Penning said these motorists push premiums up for others.

He added: "More than 400 uninsured vehicles are already being seized by the police every day but it is simply not possible to catch every uninsured driver in this way."

What's more, Mr Penning pointed out that is the reason for the targeted action, while extra police time should be freed up as a result.

Ashton West, chief executive at the Motor Insurers' Bureau, welcomed the announcement, calling it a "significant step" against uninsured drivers, stating that illegal motorists will soon have nowhere to hide.

This could encourage drivers to seek classic car insurance, or other forms of cover in order to ensure they are protected.
