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
