According to research uncovered by the website motorcycles direct, Bike riders in the area of Peterborough are riding on the road in that particular region without having adequate bike insurance. The figures that were extracted by the Motor Insurers Bureau, illustrates that for every 20 riders in the area, one does not possess a rider insurance policy.

All in all it is believed that this rounds off to the equivalent of 5% of the 123,134 bikes on the road, not having any cover whatsoever. As if that was not worrying enough, about 1,125 accidents on highways in Cambridgeshire, were involving riders who did not have any bike coverage.

This will potentially affect those riders searching for insurance coverage in the near future, as insurers will automatically identify them as high risk and increase premiums as a result. A police spokesperson had this to say on the subject matter “We will continue our robust enforcement of the law, seizing any vehicles we find being driven illegally.”
