Comments on: UK Officials Crushed 45,000 Cars in 2007 Due to Uninsured Drivers http://www.ridelust.com/uk-officials-crushed-45000-cars-in-2007-due-to-uninsured-drivers/ - Motion + Mobility Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:26:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Brad http://www.ridelust.com/uk-officials-crushed-45000-cars-in-2007-due-to-uninsured-drivers/#comment-1459 Brad Thu, 10 Jan 2008 17:08:05 +0000 http://www.ridelust.com/uk-officials-crushed-45000-cars-in-2007-due-to-uninsured-drivers/#comment-1459 I think the need to know data here is why they are not insured. If it is due to cost then generally we can assume that the car itself was probably paid for in cash and is not anything of a newer car. Hell I bet some of the uninsured motorist are riced out cars anyway... gotta pay for the R.I.C.E some how! This should take some careful consideration of the person and their driving record, as we know, a suspended license is not a deterrent for some to stop driving, in fact, I would be willing to bet that at least half of the people with suspended licenses still drive. Think of the number of people that get caught with suspended license, are just the dumb ones that repeat offenses and don't learn. I'm sure there are others that drive while suspended and get away with it, how often do you get pulled over? Insurance is a must and at least has to be paid for for a short duration, otherwise the car can't be registered... and then that's just a whole 'nother topic. Crushing without consideration is stupid. If the cars are evaluated like it seems the UK is doing, perhaps its not a bad idea, but the scrap metal MUST be recycled.
