All drivers (can) make mistakes. If you aren't insured you can still be
sued and have to pay. There aren't many who can afford a seven figure
sum so the claimant may well be left on NHS waiting lists for treatment
and living on income support for the rest of their lives. If you don't
want to insure your own goods then buy RTA only.


You might recover personal injury compensation from a non insured driver -
but not any other. And there's not much point in suing someone who hasn't
any money. And even if you win, the courts don't enforce the award.
