A new survey has found that over 1.15 million people in Britain have driven without car insurance over the last 12 months.

Research by Sainsbury's Bank has revealed that those aged between 17 and 24-years-old were the most likely to offend, with 454,000 admitting to the act.

Those between the ages of 25 and 34-years-old followed with 354,800 confessing, representing five per cent of people in their age group.

In geographical terms, residents of London were most likely to drive uninsured, with 323,900 saying they had done so over the last year.

The south-west and Wales followed with 310,700, while Yorkshire and Humberside came in third with 150,142 people.

Around 19 per cent of respondents claimed that their reason for doing so was because they could not afford the cover, while the same percentage believe it is unnecessary.

The British Insurance Brokers Association recently claimed that many drivers do not see driving without insurance as a serious crime.
