“These drivers have no regard for their own or other road users safety.
"rivers who we engage in pursuits with are often committing more than having no insurance; we want to remove these drivers off the road.
“The other type of drivers are the ones who believe they are insured but their policy is invalid, or they have not declared their points and convictions; these drivers will face the same legal penalties as anyone else.”
