The way I understand it is that as soon as I buy Gary's car I have to ring up or go on line to buy tax and as soon as I do that they will check to see if I am insured to drive that car and the car has an MOT before they will tax it ,before it was possible to buy Gary's car with tax on it so no need to get insurance so in theory the number of uninsured vehicles should go down

The number is a local rate number 0300 123 4321 available 24/7

As for car cloning the police will just have look at the glass or VIN number instead of a piece of paper
