I can see the Jerry can becoming a cause for suspicion of driving uninsured on a forecourt if this ludicrous bill passes, but that will raise a further problem...

What about non-vehicular fuel purchases? To the best of my knowledge Stihl saws, strimmers and lawnmowers don't require road insurance, neither would petrol generators etc.

All of which you would purchase fuel for using a Jerry can.

After all, if you are 2 miles or more from your petrol station it would be most inconvenient to take the relevant powertool or generator there to fill up just to prove you aren't fuelling a vehicle.
