I will address the Senator's last point first. It is very difficult to quantify the numbers of uninsured drivers. Last year there was a report which showed an increase in the level of uninsured driving. There are different ways to calculate it. One might be to look at the numbers of vehicles that are taxed and insured and try to find a space between them, but that would not be a very accurate way of doing it.
