My point was to highlight how seriously the law takes lack-of-insurance
offences.

Not seriously enough to routinely stop the cars and ask, though. They
could start with the illegally parked ones - that'll get through the
fleet in no time!

The reasons for the stops vary but checking on the insurance is just an
online look-up job. It's amazing how many cars stopped for whatever reasons
are then caught for lack of insurance as well.

The problem with the current model of ANPR and lookup for insurance is
that the cars do have insurance, just not for "reward/hire".
