The MIB Police Helpline helps the police quickly identify whether a vehicle is insured. If there’s any doubt, we’ll work with insurers to check the information a driver has provided. If they are found to be uninsured, their vehicle will be seized and potentially crushed.

You'd only receive a letter from us if Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency detail you as the registered keeper. We recommend you contact the DVLA and, if you exchanged it with a motor trader, ask if they sent an updated V5C. Until the keeper is updated with DVLA, you're still responsible for the vehicle.

Ian was driving home when an uninsured lorry crashed into a bridge & fell on his car. “There was an almighty crash, then shards of glass all over. I was shunted over to the other side of the road and it was all bit of a blur." 👀 ow.ly/snua50W4b4w #DriveInsured

Many people don’t know that, while you can be a named driver on someone else’s policy, if the car is mainly being used by you, the policy needs to have you as the main driver. What might seem like a small detail is actually fraud known as fronting - Don’t risk it! #DriveInsured

We’re proud to support Avon & Somerset Police with two new dual-branded Corollas, equipped with ANPR. These will help special constables seize uninsured vehicles and make roads safer. Over 2,400 seized last year alone. Avon and Somerset Police #DriveInsured

Today's #OpAvro with Greater Manchester Police was certainly a fruitful one for #UninsuredDriving prevention. From fraudulent registered addresses to disqualified drivers, the excuses kept racking up... as did the seized vehicles waiting for recovery trucks! Don't be next #DriveInsured

Last weekend, we were proud to support Cheshire Police @merseypolice during National Specials Weekend. Special constables are instrumental in tackling uninsured driving and enabling vital enforcement activity. Stay safe. Drive insured. It’s not worth the risk. #DriveInsured

Many people think they're covered by their insurance for part-time jobs, but often they're not. Upgrading to business cover is quick and easy. Don’t get caught out! #DriveInsure

Many people think they can deliver parcels or takeaways under their current insurance policy. That’s often not the case. Upgrading your insurance to include business or hire-and-reward cover is easy... unlike having your vehicle seized! Don’t get caught out #DriveInsured

If you want to use personalised plates, you'll need to request a plate change with Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency. The vehicle reg related to you, as registered keeper, should be displayed on the vehicle and your insurance policy. Please note only your insurance company can update policy details.

Those who drive uninsured often break other laws too, like no licence, no MOT, drink/drug driving, speeding & more, as found by StaffsRCT today. Well done to the team for protecting all road users, including the unrestrained children on board. #DriveInsured #SecondaryOffences

Not being honest with your insurer about how you use your car could really cost you. If you lie on your insurance application and you injure someone, you could end up with a life-changing bill for their medical treatment and compensation. Don’t risk it. #DriveInsured.
