No ,there is no need .If you are stopped by ANPR that says you have no insurance the police always phone the insurance company directly if there is any doubt .The same applies for those who carry insurance documents as 'proof' of insurance ,they are not proof of insurance because some people start a policy on monthly payments and then stop the payments once they get the documents thinking that will be proof of insurance and the police won't bother checking

why do you think that is going to be a problem when it hasn't in the past ,a simple phone call or online check will settle the matter ,all a tax disc is ,is a receipt for monies payed to DVLA.
I think some people are trying to find a problem where there isn't one
