Motorcycles: Motor Insurance

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 30 January 2026 to Question 107776, if she will make an estimate the number of uninsured motorcycles on roads.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The Department for Transport has not made an estimate on the number of uninsured motorcycles on our roads. However, we take uninsured driving very seriously and work with motor insurance stakeholders and law enforcement to crack down on those who choose not to insure their vehicles.

As part of the Government’s new Road Safety Strategy, published on 7 January 2026, the Department has launched a consultation on motoring offences, including a review of existing penalties for unlicensed driving or for driving not in accordance with a licence.
