We propose to introduce legislation making it an offence to be the registered keeper of a vehicle the use of which is not insured in accordance with section 143 of the Road Traffic Act 1988. Such an offence would not require the police to prove that the vehicle was in use on the road. Subject to certain exemptions, the possession of a vehicle without valid insurance would be an offence. Liability would rest with the keeper of the vehicle.
hmmmm - dont like the sound of the
'an offence would not require the police to prove that the vehicle was in use on the road' bit...one could interpret that in a few ways.....
