Continuous Insurance Enforcement
Information relating to your insurance policy will be added to
the Motor Insurance
Database ("MID") managed by the Motor Insurers Bureau ("MIB"). MID
and the data
stored on it may be used by certain statutory and/or authorised
bodies including the
Police, the DVLA, the DVANI, the Insurance Fraud Bureau and other
bodies permitted by law for purposes not limited to but including
:
I. Electronic Licensing
II. Continuous Insurance Enforcement;
III. Law enforcement (prevention, detection, apprehension and or
prosecution of
offenders)
IV. The provision of government services and or other services
aimed at reducing
the level and incidence of uninsured driving.
If you are involved in a road traffic accident (either in the
UK, the EEA or certain other
territories), insurers and or the MIB may search the MID to obtain
relevant information.
Persons (including his or her appointed representatives) pursuing a claim in respect of a road traffic accident (including citizens of other countries) may also obtain relevant information which is held on the MID.
Visit the Government's Directgov website www.direct.gov.uk/stayinsured which has been displaying CIE information since the summer.
It is vital that the MID holds your correct registration number.
If it is incorrectly
shown on the MID you are at risk of having your vehicle seized by
the Police.
You can check that your correct registration number details are
shown on the
MID at www.askmid.com or check your insurance
certificate to make sure the correct registration number is
recorded.
