The DVLA already sells vehicle keeper data to private parking enforcement agencies. Now it is to allow insurers to access driver records.
From summer 2014, AA Insurance along with most car insurers, will ask prospective policyholders for their Driving Licence Numbers.
This unique 16-character sequence displayed on the driving licence will be used to obtain records from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) on the type of licence a driver holds, how long they have held it, and whether they have any driving convictions.
So, will this put an end to drivers living in an expensive address giving a cheaper address for insurance purposes? As premiums are calculated for postcodes?
I know someone who is going to be very unhappy!
