Drivers who don't renew their insurance in time face having their car clamped on their drive

Daily Mail
"Motorists whose insurance runs out and isn’t renewed on time face having their car clamped in their driveway, seized and destroyed under tough new rules laid before Parliament today. The new clamp-and-scrap powers are being given to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) by ministers and are a new weapon in the Government’s armoury against uninsured drivers. The new system, called continuous insurance enforcement, goes fully live in June and means cars must be insured at all times - and no long have to be spotted on the road to be clamped and seized. ....AA Insurance said their own survey had shown that 6 out of 10 motorists were completely unaware of the changes that could see their car clamped and impounded from their driveway.

An AA/Populus study of nearly 13,000 AA members, an ‘extraordinary’ 59 per cent had not heard about the new law and of the balance who were aware of it, with four out of ten (38 per cent) saying they ‘don’t know what it means’.
