    How does your statement change any of what's been said?
    You have 7 days to show your documents. That's the key bit.

    I was pulled over today for a routine check in my van and I didn't have my documentation with me (license and insurance) so I have to take them to a station to be checked. Was just wondering what the check is? Do they just look at the dates and make sure everything is as it should? Do they take copies of everything? Just don't get the point of the inconvenience of going to the station

    So it would be OK for everyone to drive with no licence and insurance and just say its not on them knowing that the police wont ask you to produce at a station?

    The key bit is you failed to produce on demand.

    Prosecute for failing to produce same as they've always done.

    ? So what? You still have 7 days to show it, as everyone has - correctly - been saying

    Used to get them on a regular basis in my teens, it was usually straightforward but you could get the occasional jobsworth on the counter who would double check every thing.

    Anything slightly dodgy and you always went in to produce outside office hours!

    Not in all cases but I'm sure you're well aware of that. ;)
