The Motor
Insurers’ Information Centre (MIIC) was established by
the insurance industry to oversee, on their behalf, the
development of
the Motor Insurance Database (MID).
This database holds details of every UK-registered and
insured vehicle, and is already a key tool in the
crusade against the crime of uninsured driving. The
responsibility for the ongoing management of the
database resides with the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB).
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 proper insurance cover.
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.
Not only
does
the database help to reduce this crime, but it also
assists the UK in meeting the 4th EU Motor Insurance
Directive. This directive, which came into effect
on 20 January 2003, requires that details of every
insured vehicle be accessible by a national information
centre, in order to make cross-border claims less
onerous. In the UK, the MIB fulfils this role via
the UK Information Centre.
The
Motor Insurers' Bureau is a Company limited by Guarantee
registered in England and Wales under company number 412787
whose registered office is at Linford Wood House, 6-12 Capital
Drive, Milton Keynes, MK14 6XT.
