When did it all change for car insurance, that you now have to provide your licence, copy of your logbook, dvla check code..... i mean what is all this?

What happened to car insurance, you take it out and thats it; youre on cover straight away? Now they want blood...

    I'll bet you've gone bargain bucket. I've never been asked for these.
