Commenting on the successful passage of a Bill in Parliament today that will remove the so-called ‘Vnuk’ motor insurance law, RAC Insurance spokesperson Simon Williams said:

“We welcome legislative changes that will scrap the controversial Vnuk requirement. Insisting people take out compulsory insurance for all manner of vehicles such as ride-on lawn mowers, quad bikes and golf buggies used on private land would have been an expensive and complicated process for the insurance industry, as well as one which could have led to higher premiums for all drivers. For these reasons we feel common sense has won out.”
