insurance clause..

Hi everyone, What does this mean on my insurance clause?

the policy does not cover: use to secure the release of a motor vehicle, other than the vehicle identified above by its registration mark, which has been seized by, or on behalf of, any government or public authority

Thanks

If your car gets seized by the police or any other authority then you will need to prove to them that you have insurance to get your car back.
It means you can use that insurance certificate to get your car back but only for the car mentioned on the insurance certificate.
You can't use the certificate to get other cars back, even if you own them or even if your insurance certificate allows you to drive other people's car.

Reminds me of the Chinese guy on one of the Motorway police shows.

Car pinged as not insured, they take the car and then later in the same show the same guy is driving the same car. They pull him again and no he didnt get insurance he got his mate to recover the car from the pound.

Had the car impounded twice in the same day, unlucky.

Should be like some countries where they impound it for at least 30 days
and you get a large bill to recover it not just a couple of hundred £.
