Like I mentioned in my post my landlord is a Police officer with Nottinghamshire Police and he's on the traffic side of the force.

The actual offence is
Charge: Using, causing or permitting to be used a motor vehicle on a road or other public place when there is not force a policy of insurance or security against third party risks. Road Traffic Act 1988, s. 143.
Section 144 lists the exceptions
144 Exceptions from requirement of third-party insurance or security
(1) Section 143 of this Act does not apply to a vehicle owned by a person who has deposited and keeps deposited with the Accountant General of the Supreme Court the sum of £15,000, at a time when the vehicle is being driven under the owner’s control.
(2) Section 143 does not applyâ€â€

(ii) by a regional, islands or district council in Scotland, or

(f) to a vehicle which is made available by the Secretary of State to any local authority, education authority or voluntary organisation in Scotland in pursuance of section 15 or 16 of the [1978 c. 29.] National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 at a time when it is being used in accordance with the terms on which it is so made available.
I don't think proving you can pay is in there......
