But WHEN was that? Pre-December 2013?

Yes. What's that got to do with it?

Because the requirements changed in December 2103 ... as already explained earlier in this thread. Therefore your comment was not relevant to the situation NOW.

Try asking the insurance ombudsman. They're less cloudy.

You look to have followed the bad advice posted here by beamerguy in #72 about checking with your own insurer


This was corrected in #74:

The FOS has ruled that such conditions are unenforceable.....

The FOS trumps anything your insurer is being cloudy about.

You are talking to a very very small number of people here, not the majority who have no clue and will accept what their insurer says.
You would be better doing an article for the major newspapers to get your message across

Correct.


I am talking to the one person who keeps repeating the incorrect info in this thread.


Please have the decency to stand corrected and stand down!

A reason why insurance is no longer checked when licensing a vehicle is that unless exempt, a registered vehicle is reqired to be insured - s.144A, Road Traffic Act 1988.
A vehicle that is licensed, but not insured is not exempt, and as the databases are regularly checked, a prosecution for not having insurance may be initiated without reference to the vehicle actually being seen or used uninsured.
