Staffordshire Police have seized 2561 uninsured vehicles since the start of the year.
More than 2,500 uninsured vehicles have been seized by police in Staffordshire since New Year’s Day and Halloween.
Staffordshire Police have confirmed 2,561 uninsured vehicles have been seized between January 1 and October 31, 2026.
UK-wide there has been a total of 134,157 uninsured vehicles have been reported seized across the UK in the same ten months time frame.
Police said that they are supporting Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) newest Operation Drive Insured campaign to tackle uninsured drivers and public safety.
Inspector Chris Moss, from the road crime team at Staffordshire Police said: “Driving without insurance is simply reckless.
“We work closely with the MIB to target drivers who don’t insure their vehicles, alongside our daily work on the road network to identify uninsured drivers and take action.
“Uninsured drivers are more likely to be behind the wheel of vehicles that are not roadworthy and often don’t take insurance because they don’t have a licence or have been disqualified from driving.
“Every uninsured driver also increases the cost for those who abide by the law.”
