For those of you unfortunate enough to be involved in a crash with an uninsured driver the new MIB Uninsured Drivers’ Agreement came into force on 1 August 2015 and applies to accidents occurring on or after that date; the 1999 agreement continues to apply to accidents occurring between 1 October 1999 and 31 July . The Untraced Drivers’ Agreement has not been changed. It is currently the subject of consultation and a new scheme is expected by 2017 One of the biggest changes is the requirement that a claimant pursue insurance details of the driver and lodge a complaint with the police has been scrapped. Compensation in relation to property damage is limited to one million pounds. Exclusions include Crown vehicles; Vehicles exempt from insurance; Where someone else, apart from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority, is liable; Passengers who knew or had reason to believe that the vehicle had been stolen or unlawfully taken or is being used without insurance; Terrorism Just thought you might be interested http://www.mib.org.uk/media-centre/news/2015/july/transport-secretary-signs-new-uninsured-drivers-agreement/
