As Quentin says, it could turn out to be very expensive if you cancel the insurance for the sake of 2 days cover. If a Police car drives past with ANPR it will ping their systems. You could be faced with a X hundred pound fine, 6 points, a towed car, recovery and impound costs and also backdated tax.

Can the owner be faced with the points still though, given that it wasn't being driven? Surely to be able to issue a FPN you'd need a driver and not just a keeper? I've had cars for sale on the road outside my place with no insurance before, especially if it gets stolen, or if an ANPR equipped Police car finds it. That being said, maybe the Police would rather find somebody behind the wheel?

Then you were breaking the law.:)

It is an offence to use a vehcile on a road without insurance.

Not sure how to respond as I'm not sure what your point is, lol. Having a vehicle parked on the road without insurance is an offence and constitutes to using it. However, I'd imagine the FPN wouldn't be applicable due to there being no driver at the time, that being said, the only way of dealing with it would be reporting for summons, surely? I'd imagine the car would still be seized though...

The car must be insured unless it's been SORNed. From direct.gov:

Where a motor vehicle isn't used on a road or other public place, there’s no requirement to purchase insurance cover for 'on road risk' as long as a SORN declaration has been made.

Or knocking on the door and giving the owner [STRIKE]one[/STRIKE]a ticket.
