The Irish Motor Insurance Database (IMID) has empowered gardaí to verify the insurance status of vehicles at roadside checkpoints within seconds, utilizing hand-held devices or ANPR technology. This advancement has resulted in a dramatic decline of 86,000 uninsured vehicles over the past two years, effectively bringing down uninsured rates from 8.3% to 4.2% of the private fleet. Historically, Ireland had the highest uninsured vehicle rates in the EU, but the IMID marks a successful collaboration among key stakeholders to enhance road safety and reduce driving without insurance.
The recent introduction of the Irish Motor Insurance Database allows gardaí to quickly identify uninsured vehicles, leading to an 86,000 drop in uninsured cars.
Gardaí are now equipped to check insured status at roadside checkpoints, proving effective in significantly reducing the number of uninsured drivers in Ireland.
This initiative, which has dropped the uninsured rate from 8.3% to 4.2%, showcases the effectiveness of technology in combating uninsured driving.
The collaboration among insurers and the establishment of the IMID reflects a strong commitment towards safer roads and responsible driving in Ireland.
