Most driver here in the uk over the age of 25 also have the privalege of driving other motor cars, be it Third Party Only cover, they are still legal.

If the car was on a hill and the handbrake failed (I have seen a few of these) the car rolls down the hill and causes damage, whos paying if the car isnt insured.

A safe uninsured driver. yes they are about, but as said this doesnt help when the brakes fail or a tyre blows and they cause a RTA with injury to other INNOCENT partys.

I feel the passenger restriction rule would be a step in the right direction though.
