It is law that you carry your documents with you when in the car but you get 7 days' grace to produce them if you don't have them on you when stopped by the police.

Re: Uninsured drivers face crackdown
Have you ever thought the reason they got away with it for so long is that more petrol is sold which means more tax is paid?

Re: Uninsured drivers face crackdown
Sorry if this is slightly off topic, but do you still get 14 days to tax a car

No, that's not slightly off topic at all. It's VERY off topic.
And no you don't.

That's a common myth.
I like the idea of a chip and pin licence/insurance card; but how would it be updated?

Sorry, I wasn't very clear with my question. What I meant was, how would the card be updated with insurance details? If it were the same card as the driving licence, that is?
