back before xmas the old bill stoppped me in the CSL as i came thru the dartford crossing into essex for having no insurance
bike old bill pulled me over and stopped me in Lakeside car park
BLOOMING HELL must have been 150 cars there queing waiting to be seen by me inc bikes, bangers, mercs, Royalty, Nigerians, Poles, low life scum etc etc and old billhad awning up, mobile canteen, sky tv
anyway took me 60 minutes to get seen to as the original check was with the main insuance database (MID) which said NO, but upon ringing my insurer eventually they said YES, so i was released unharmed and without any anal damage.
So moral of this story (as there were 8 police forces involved and they are doing it nationwide) is;
1.Check your insurer has you reg on MID

2.If not ring them and tell them to get it sorted (they are breaking the law)
3.Until then carry a copy of your cert or at least cert number and tel number (no good if after hours)
I was told quite bluntly if there was no proof they would have taken the car (for now).
