Millions of motorists face higher premiums to fund ‘crazy’ payouts for uninsured drivers.
The European Union has ruled that even motorists who break the law by driving without insurance should be protected if their car is damaged.
However it means that law-abiding drivers who do pay for cover face an increase in bills to cover the cost.
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling last night said he was furious that ‘hardworking drivers will foot the bill for the irresponsible actions’ of criminals.
But he added that, until the UK leaves the EU, he is powerless to stop it.
The Cabinet minister, who backed the Brexit campaign, promised to return to the current rules once we have quit the bloc – when we will be free to rip up the edict.

If you get compensated for damage if you’re uninsured, why would anyone pay to be insured?
sounds like Obamacare
Insurance premiums to triple to compensate for all the drivers who dropped their insurance.
EU Uninsured = migrants.
This is a perfect example of the idiocies of libtards.
Evidently that is a very complex concept for the E.U.
Here even a child could understand it.
In California part of our car insurance is for ‘uninsured motorists’......even though it’s a law that you have to have insurance.
Guess we need to be covered for all the uninsured illegals.
In Louisiana we have a no pay-no play provision. If you’re uninsured you can’t make a claim against an insured driver for up to the state minimums. If your property damage or medical bills would exceed the state mandated minimum coverages you can claim for anything over that.
Now you've done it!
My insurance was at one time $52 from GE. They sold to another company and my rates went up then they sold to AIG and my rates went up. Then the financial crisis happened and AIG lost billions. They were bailed out by the taxpayers like me. My rates went up afterward.
They continue to raise the rates to pay for illegals getting into accidents then if they can they drive off. Also known as hit and run. In short the ratepayers are getting it in the shorts. My current rate is $117 for a 2003 Honda Accord.
