Well Doris, believe what you want. There are two different databases.

I'd have had a lot of questions to answer by the roadside, on that cold dark night, if the police had used the (incorrect) MID!

Someone has their facts wrong, don't believe everything you read on the Internet.

The MID are just trying to bull themselves up . .  Any pen pusher at an insurance company  (or any fleet owner for that matter) can make entries to, or update the MID. Ample opportunity for "mis-typing" or worse. When I spoke to the insurance company, I was told to "just log in and change it". Seriously.

I couldn't of course, but thousands can, you'd be surprised.

The PNC is far more factual.

You say the PNC is far more factual.

Then how come there are more vehicle manufacturers of motor vehicles on the PNC then have even existed in reality? The PNC is full of errors.
