UNINSURED DRIVERS TAKEN OFF THE ROAD

UNINSURED DRIVERS TAKEN OFF THE ROAD

More than 2,500 uninsured vehicles have been seized across Staffordshire in the first ten months of 2026 as work continues to keep our roads safe.

A total of 134,157 uninsured vehicles have been reported seized across the UK between 1 January to 31 October this year, with 2,561 of these taken off the road by our officers in Staffordshire.

This week, we are supporting the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) as it launches Operation Drive Insured, a nationwide campaign running until Sunday 15 November aimed at tackling uninsured drivers and safeguarding the public.

We'll continue to carry out proactive operations to stop vehicles and check they are being driven with the correct insurance policies, whilst also remaining on the lookout for other offences, including speeding, drink and drug driving and using a mobile phone while driving.

Inspector Chris Moss, from our road crime team, said: “Driving without insurance is simply reckless."
