Dosn't the article give you a clue to the force's policy? Feel free to give them a call to hear it chapter and verse if you want to but the reality is (whether you want to believe it or not) that unless the police can satisfy themselves that a vehicle is insured at the road side, they can (and most likely will) seize it under section 165. Your suggestion in post 23 that 'they should give the benefit of the doubt' would be frankly irresponsible and possibly dangerous if it was put into practice. There should be no doubt involved in motor insurance for obvious reasons I would of thought.

Now this is really my final input. If you want any further clarification, feel free to enquire at you local police station. The number should be in the book. :wave:

No, it indicates the policy was not followed. Feel free to keep guessing until yet actually read a force policy.
