So this in turn can make your insurance invalid
most people have a friendly mot station
who will pass a decattered car by various means(or put original cat on for mot time)But if you have a smash and your car is a right off and the insurance comany check it out and find no cat they will invalidate your policy.
is it worth the risk if your've got 20k or so in your car ?
Thats why i've got a sports cat which is mot friendly.

Obviously I had no insurance having bought it 2 minutes ago, but as it was parked on a public highway I got 6 points. Hated the police since then (1987)

cant see how they would have got away with this TBH, sounds to me like they tried it on and won

Apart from that I have never and never would drive with no insurance.
The new computerized system of checking number plates instantly against insurance/tax/mot is brilliant. I just wish they would take it one step further and crush any car driving illegally - no excuses and no chance to get out of it.
