The second interactive map contains the top 10 uninsured postal districts within each Government region, which are displayed with a drill-down box by clicking on a region. The top twenty postcodes for uninsured drivers are highlighted in red and can be found in the North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, West Midlands and London.

If your vehicle is not on the Motor Insurance Database, the only central record of insured vehicles in the UK, the police will stop you at the roadside. Success in tackling uninsured drivers is improving – 140,000 vehicles were seized in 2011 for no insurance.
