Lamborghini is seized because driver didn't have insuranc...

A Lamborghini and other luxury cars were among the nearly 160,000 uninsured cars seized on Britain's roads last year.

It is estimated that 300,000 motorists a day are driving without insurance costing the UK economy an eye-watering £1billion a year.

Hot spots include the West Midlands with five of the top 15 postcodes being found in Birmingham

Earlier this month, a West Midlands Police operation seized 16 vehicles off the road for being uninsured.

This included a Lamborghini Huracán Performante Spyder which was stopped by police in the Sparkbrook area of Birmingham for not having a front registration plate.

The force soon discovered the driver was uninsured and the supercar was swiftly impounded and the man behind the wheel was reported for motoring offences.

In a statement the police said: 'A supercar might turn heads, but uninsured driving turns into real risk. Uninsured driving isn't just illegal - it's highly dangerous and significantly more likely to lead to fatal or serious collisions.' 

The Birmingham postcodes which account for the five areas where accidents regularly involve uninsured drivers are B25, B18, B66, B21 and B35.

The supercar was stopped in the Sparksbrook area of Birmingham earlier this month after police spotted it driving without a front number plate 

Outside of the West Midlands, other hotspots include Thurrock's RM19 in Essex, PE1 in Peterborough, M18 in Manchester, Havering's RM1 in London and Belfast's BT17.

According to the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB), every 20 minutes a person in the UK is involved in an accident involving an uninsured car and one person every day suffers life-altering injuries.

The organisation said that uninsured drivers and their cars are more likely to be found drink or drug driving or while disqualified.  

Hayley Sutcliffe, from the MIB, told BBC News: 'It's a diverse area so people coming into the country might not know the laws and the legislation of the Road Traffic Act.

'We need to raise awareness around when people need to have the correct level of cover of insurance.'

The MIB have been working with police forces across to tackle the concerning rise of uninsured drivers on the road, which has reached a 17 year high. 

In the past five years alone the number of vehicles seized  has risen by nearly 20 per cent from 32,435 to 158,594.

The cost of car insurance has also led to what is known as 'fronting'. This is when an older member of a family insures a young person's car to reduce premiums. 

It is a type of fraud which means vehicles and their drivers are not properly covered.  

Offenders caught by police typically receive a £300 fine and 6 penalty points on their driving license.
