-----worst in the league table of the uninsured. It is everyone’s worst nightmare to be involved in a road traffic accident and it is worse again when the vehicle being interfaced with is uninsured, with the rigours involved to try to get some form of compensation. Nevertheless, we interface with other uninsured vehicles as we drive through traffic, such as e-scooters and e-bikes, many of which travel far faster than the cars, vans and trucks on the road. What is Mr. Fitzgerald's opinion on that? Is it a difficulty at the moment for insurance cases where a car is fully loaded with insurance but other vehicles and non-vehicles are uninsured?
