And the city with most uninsured drivers is...
Discussion
Too easy 
ETA: Although not having 'valid' insurance could mean anything. Maybe lots of people in that postcode say they elsewhere in order to get a lower premium which would theoretically make it invalid. I can imagine paying a serious excess just because of their area.

Police in ??????? have set up a new roads policing unit after it emerged the city has the highest number of uninsured vehicles on the UK's roads.
Only because Slough isn't a city...and the chances of a cathedral being built in Slough now are...slim, to say the least.linky

For whatever reason, over the past 6 months it does seem that observation of a red traffic light signal in the part of Slough I am blessed to inhabit during the day seems to have become an optional exercise.
Last week the road outside the office was shut, hordes of police and fire crew about, and flames leaping into the air from the side of the road. I'd assumed that the inevitable had happened, and the local security forces had been attacked with an IED, but it turns out BT had cut through a gas main with a digger.
It's purely a symptom of wider problems; the unhindered rise of our indigenous underclass, and the very poor integration of a migrant community whose growth is totally unchecked. The result is a breakdown in society in these areas.

But 24-year-old Asif, who lives in the BD3 area, told BBC News: "I don't have insurance, its not worth it.
"My car cost £500 and to get it insured costs £2,000, so why bother?
Er, perhaps so that if you accidentally incapacitate someone in an accident that's your fault, the victim can be properly and fairly compensated?"My car cost £500 and to get it insured costs £2,000, so why bother?
They have a simple solution here ....
In order to renew your road tax you have to present insurance and MOT documents that are no older than 3 months (i.e. have at least 9 months validity left) in order to get your tax.
Any car seen being driven with an invalid tax disk is automatically assumed to be uninsured and the book will be flung at you....

Quite interesting the way our man's escapades along 'The Wilmslow Bypass' made the national news; I guess because of the scale of the fraud and the fact a conviction was brought.
However, this has been going on for years and if the current (ABI claimed) £44/year/average policy contribution to cover these losses is correct, we've all been suffering accordingly.
A very good chum of mine runs a local recovery biz and deals with most of our local incidents; the reality of his experience in this area is startling insofar as the breadth and depth of endemic, socio-economic criminality is concerned.
It comes on the same day that we are told the population is spiralling up at 400,000 bods/year - like it's something that has just happened over night - like all those interminable traffic jams and the fact that you can't swing a cat in Albion anymore are somehow sudden restrictions just crept up on us...
