1. An on-going method for identifying uninsured motorists on a periodic basis comprising:
- a. initially inputting into a computer processor a database of all in-force insurance policies from all insurance carriers within a geographical area, including data such as name of the insured, their mailing addresses, driver'"'"'s license numbers, dates of birth, policy numbers and effective dates, make of vehicle, year of vehicle, type of vehicle, and vehicle identification number, b. inputting into a computer processor a database of all relevant driver information from the motorist licensing division within a geographical area such as a driver'"'"'s full name, their license number, address, date of birth, c. inputting into the computer processor a database of all relevant vehicle information from the division of motor vehicles within a geographical area such as the full name of the owner, mailing address, vehicle identification number, make and year of the vehicle, and other relevant information, d. computer processing the databases by heuristic matching of non-corresponding sequences to generate a working database of uninsured motorists to a pre-determined high degree of reliability, e. periodically inputting all current information identified in steps a), b), and c), and f. repeating steps c) and d) to reduce and generate an updated working base of uninsured motorists.
