Asylum seekers have 'left a death toll of 70 in their wake'

Asylum seekers in the UK have “left a death toll of at least 70 in their wake” the Sunday Express said on 10.12.2006 in a report about car accidents. A “well-placed source” in the Home Office told the Express that asylum seekers in the UK were allowed to drive on an international licence if they had insurance and a vehicle fit for use on British roads.

The source further claimed “After one year their international licence is no longer valid which means they are uninsurable and therefore a liability on the roads.” The source said that in those circumstances some asylum seekers contacted relatives in their originating countries to have a new licence sent out to them.

It is against the rules of their residence in the UK to have document fraudulently sent to them, the Sunday Express pointed out.

The newspaper said that asylum seekers “have committed more than 20, 000 driving offences over the past three years on British years.” Each year 3, 400 die on British roads – 13% of them pedestrians and 36, 000 others are injured annually. There are thought to be a million people on the road illegally.

The road safety pressure group Speedcameras.org told the Sunday Express that it was easy for asylum seekers in the UK to drive illegally because “there’s not much chance they’ll get caught and if they do they know they won’t be punished.”

The pressure group said there were too many speedcameras and not enough traffic police. The group said that vehicles used by some asylum seekers were not registered at the DVLA and could not be traced regarding fines. It also said that banning them from driving was not necessarily effective as a punishment because most of them were happy to drive with no licence.

The total number of accidents caused by illegal drivers is higher than the those caused by legal drivers travelling above the speed limit.

Kamel Kadri, an illegal immigrant from Algeria who had no driving licence, insurance, tax or MOT got two years in jail after 9 year-led Callum Oakford died in a hit-and-run accident at Worthing on New Year’s Day in 2004. When he got an order to be deported he disappeared for 18 months, The Sunday Express reported.

Failed asylum seeker and banned driver Aso Mohammed Ibrahim (from Kurdistan) killed 12 year-old Amy Houston at a Blackburn road junction in 2003. In December of that year a court was told he ran off after the accident. Ibrahim got only four months in jail.
