Uninsured driving isn’t victimless. Offenders are 6–7x more likely to be in a fatal crash, and over half are linked to wider criminality—reflecting risk-taking, disregard for the law, or deception. It pushes up costs for honest drivers. Tackling it protects communities.

Use of dangerous driving as a weapon against passengers is something that needs to be better recognised.
In domestic abuse cases, and also anywhere else that someone is threatened in such a manner.
It couldn't be more clear who is in control, and who is being controlled. It's about public safety.
Seizure numbers hit a 17-year high as an estimated 300,000 uninsured vehicles are driven each day.

Each figure in this poignant display represents a person injured or killed in a road crash in Northamptonshire during 2025 — 1,354 injured, 331 seriously injured and 26 killed. Utterly devastating! We hope it raises awareness, improves driver culture and influences safer travel policy. #RoadSafety
In 2025, Northamptonshire Police seized 2,540 uninsured vehicles, and disposed of 1,256. Driving uninsured signals risk-taking & links to wider criminality—posing real danger & undermining safe travel. This enforcement tackles their criminality and risk but also serves law abiding insurance payers.
Facial recognition is a step change for public safety—helping locate those wanted for serious violence and sexual offences. Like DNA before it, it will continue to improve and embed nationwide, bringing offenders to justice and preventing further harm.
