When do you drive without valid insurance?
You are driving without valid insurance when:
- You have not purchased BA insurance for your vehicle
- Your insurance has expired and not renewed in a timely manner
- You are driving a vehicle that is not in your name and for which you are not covered
- The insurer has cancelled the policy for non-payment
Possible defences
Novex Advocaten examines whether there is a valid defence: technical error at renewal, insurer administrative error, evidence of timely payment but delayed processing. In certain cases, a denial of fault can be a strong defence.
Civil redress through the GMF
In a traffic accident without valid insurance, the Joint Motor Insurance Fund (GMF) acts as a replacement insurer for victims. The GMF will then recover the full amount from the uninsured driver. Legal assistance is absolutely necessary in this case.
