AskMid Reports 30% Increase in Insurance Verification Checks as Enforcement Intensifies

AskMid Reports 30% Increase in Insurance Verification Checks as Enforcement Intensifies
Following Operation Drive Insured, AskMid sees record numbers of drivers checking their insurance status as police crack down on uninsured vehicles.

AskMid has reported a 30% increase in insurance verification checks during November 2024, coinciding with the nationwide Operation Drive Insured campaign. The week-long enforcement initiative, which ran from 11-17 November, saw police forces across the UK targeting uninsured drivers. During the operation, police seized nearly 3,000 uninsured vehicles in just seven days, highlighting the ongoing challenge of uninsured driving. AskMid's data shows that the public awareness campaign surrounding the operation prompted many motorists to verify their insurance status, with over 150,000 checks conducted through the AskMid platform during the week. Sarah Johnson, Operations Director at AskMid, commented: 'The significant increase in verification checks shows that awareness campaigns combined with visible enforcement do change driver behavior. We're encouraged to see more motorists taking responsibility for ensuring they have valid insurance, which ultimately makes our roads safer for everyone.' AskMid continues to work closely with all UK police forces to provide the technology and data needed to identify uninsured vehicles efficiently.
