    I was always under the impression that driving without the correct level of insurance cover was pretty much standard practice in the local independent takeaway delivery industry.

    It's only really the big chains like Dominos and Perfect Pizza that do things properly, providing their own branded cars to employees for this purpose.

    The wages are often so crap that you wouldn't even break even paying for proper insurance. Also need to consider the wear and tear aspect of doing lots of short trips, increased tyre wear, fuel usage that will be way less efficient than your usual MPG etc.
    Domino's don't round here! Young lads in battered old Micras whose driving is worse than minicab drivers...
