Female motorists 'less likely to break the law'
14 November 08
Women drivers are less likely to get behind the wheel without car insurance, a motoring group has claimed.
According to the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM), the group of people most likely to take to the road without the proper cover are young males.
It claimed this category of uninsured drivers clock up to 3.7 million hours a month on highways across the UK.
Director of IAM Neil Greig said, in order to tackle this problem, attitudes among offenders must be changed, as there is currently a perception among young men that they can get away with breaking the law.
He stated: "Young people must be convinced that the only way to drive is fully licensed and insured."
Mr Greig warned, despite the falling number of deaths and injuries on Britain's roads, younger drivers are not getting safer.
In other news, IAM recently encouraged motorists to prepare for winter as soon as possible by stocking up with de-icer and having anti freeze checked.
