When you get a speeding ticket they don't normally ask for your insurance details.

..........because they use the insurance data base............

I would be very surprised if they didn't run any registration number done for speeding through the various databases such as MID, as each infringement they find would be another source of income for those in national and local government who seek to maximise the income from motorists.

I can't believe this hasn't dawned on them yet.

So you think it is OK to drive uninsured?

No, not at all. I have never advocated driving uninsured and never will. Please show me where I have indicated that it is OK?

It's not the police that issue the speeding tickets, its the camera enforcement who are either too busy or can't be bothered checking other details.

Even so I believe they are part of the police force in the area that the ticket is issued, tickets in West Yorkshire certainly come on West Yorkshire police headed letters.

As such they will obtain the registered keeper details from the police national computer by running the registration. This will highlight if there is no insurance or MOT.

Only a constable can issue a fixed penalty and only a chief officer of police (or his proxy) can issue an s172 requirement. It may be that much of the actual donkey work is done by civilian staff, but it's definitely the police who run camera enforcement.

Wahey, the very common 3rd party insurance misconception. DOC doesn't apply unless the other car is insured in the first place.
He's about to get a damn good rodding from the law (and rightly so).

Just sit tight and hold your breath. Nothing may happen but if it does it will be 6 points plus the speeding.

Point out that the registered keeper is deceased, so cannot be convicted of failing to identify the driver.

I strongly suspect the executor of the estate would be liable in that instance.
