The website warns of prosecution
Thousands of drivers were warned on Saturday morning, September 23, as a national database appeared to show all cars as being uninsured. It is not known what caused the issue on askMID but reports suggest even cars that are insured were showing as not being insured.
The website warns drivers could face prosecution and a court appearance, Manchester Evening News reports. On the page, it reads: "NO. This vehicle is NOT showing as insured on the Motor Insurance Database today. If your vehicle details are NOT on the Motor Insurance Database you are at risk of being fined and facing court prosecution."
On Twitter, @DriveInsured, the official page of the Motor Insurers' Bureau, tweeted: "We’re aware of an issue with askMID showing vehicles as uninsured. This is affecting the public facing side of the service, but the data used by police at the roadside is unaffected. "We're confident no data has been compromised, and working to resolve the situation asap."A number of drivers have posted on Twitter saying they have been affected.
One said: "Apparently the motor insurance database is down and thousands of cars are showing as uninsured. Check yours at askmid both my cars show as uninsured."
