Yes, it is strictly mandatory by law across the entire United Kingdom for any motor vehicle driven or parked on public roads to have active third-party motor insurance. Under UK road traffic legislation, driving an uninsured vehicle is a serious criminal offense that carries severe penalties, including unlimited fines, driving disqualifications, penalty points, and police powers to seize or crush the vehicle. While minimum third-party coverage fulfills the legal requirement, most motorists opt for comprehensive or third-party fire and theft policies to protect their own vehicles against damage, theft, and vandalism.
