Bracknell MP introduces road safety bill
Peter Swallow will call for a crackdown on uninsured drivers
Peter Swallow, MP for Bracknell, is to introduce a bill before parliament to clamp down on uninsured drivers.
In a 10-minute Rule Bill, Peter Swallow will call for tougher sanctions for drivers taking to the roads without insurance, and engaging in new criminal tactics like faking insurance documentation using AI.
This latest action from the Bracknell MP is part of his Road Safety Campaign, which included running surveys across Bracknell Forest this summer, and compiling a Road Safety Report which has been delivered to ministers, the police and crime commissioner and Bracknell Forest Council.
Harmful
Moving the Bill Peter Swallow said:
“Uninsured drivers risk lives and leave law-abiding drivers in the lurch when incidents happen. It is costly, harmful and needs to be stopped.
“Tougher sanctions will deter low-level criminals from thinking they can get away with driving without insurance, and halt underground industries in faked insurance documentation
“This Summer I heard from 1000s of Bracknell Forest Residents about how they would act to make our roads safer - and clamping down on uninsured drivers was a big concern. So I’m pleased to bring forward a Bill to get tough action on uninsured drivers up the political agenda.”
