The question is .. which insurance company wanted the details?

You know, so we know who to avoid..

Already answered.

Ohh .. I didn't recognise them as an insurance company 

Must pay more attention.

It's to do with this...

http://www.mylicence.org.uk/mylicence-number/

though why they want your NI number is beyond me. The system is currently voluntary for both you and the insurer, so you can tell them to poke off, but they can equally charge you extra if you don't supply your driving license number, or even refuse to insure you.

Maybe they want the NI number now to ascertain that  you`re working & a UK citizen as declared on the initial insurance proposal 

For use in verifying my current driving status, I`ve already complied with a request from my employer to agree that my details are passed to a third party. I did question it to some length, but with 70+ potential users of the company fleet I had to agree. If I had refused, then my inability to drive their vehicles would have had serious issues re. my job.

I`d be interested to discover if anyone else has found themselves facing the same request from their employer

Only answer I could find by Googling was this:

Which seems a bit presumptuous as they and you don't know if there will be a claim in the future. I would certainly ask the question on why they need your NI number as their terms may allow your details to be sold on by the company.

My employer,has copys of passport, driving license every 6months,
I asked the reason for this, and was told its a dwp thing to do with entitlement to work,and "insurance" O and your details will not be passed to anybody

I lived in Vietnam, an undemocratic, paranoid 'communist' one party state a few years ago and as a foreigner my landlord used to come round and collect my passport every 3 months for 'registration' purposes with the police. 

I don't know why but this NI thing reminded me....

This country is the same now, but they use the words "terrorism" and "national security".
