The UK has one of the worst records in Western Europe for uninsured driving with an estimated one in every twenty cars on the road being driven without insurance. This results in every honest motorist in the UK paying up to £30 of their insurance premium to compensate the innocent victims of these cheats, and the problem is growing at a dramatic rate.

The Motor Insurance Database (MID) was set up by the insurance industry to help combat this crime, and the police are now the MID's biggest customer, making over 3.8 million enquiries per month.  The DVLA, with over 1 million enquiry transactions a month in support of their Electronic Vehicle Licensing operation, is the second largest user of the MID.  The MID also helps the UK comply with the 4th EU Motor Insurance Directive, which requires that insurance details of all vehicles in member states can be easily accessed by a national information centre.  In the UK, this role is carried out by the MIB via the UK Information Centre.

If your vehicle is privately insured it will have already been entered onto the MID by your insurer.  However, if you are a fleet policyholder you need to act now.  To read more about your obligation to submit your vehicle details to the MID, please click on the Fleet Policyholders link above.
