well i have tonight been handed a nice pink form. aparently i have no insurance :S guessing elephant havn't pulled their finger out? as it was my renewal on saturday so rang up friday and sorted a monthly arrangement. hopefully should receive my papers tmo as they said it would take 3-5 days for them... only issue is i cant for the life of me find my mot cert, i had it literally 3 weeks ago for my tax. but as the house is being boxed up ready to move i cant find it what should i do, can i take my tax disk in or can they check it etc....

well just went down, handed over my licence, she woudnt ring insurance to check if im insured cus apparently it could be anyone on the phone :S so i have to wait for cert to be sent out but i am deffinately covered, however i still cant for the shit of me find my mot cert, and i gave her details of when it was done etc, and said she cant check it atall, either i need the cert or i have to go to get another one printed out by the place i had it done ( i dont know where as i didnt do it) if that isnt possilbe, i will be reported for driving with no mot, meaning it will be crushed. ffs why cant they simply check. i checked myself via vosa site and it came up that i have mot etc also listed the number of the company that done it so gave them a ring and there quite far away (last owner had it mot'd) so they will be able to print out a duplicate and send it for a small fee pain in the ass

As above, the new mots mean that any station can print you a duplicate. Usually a tenner..

I also dont believe for a minute they can take a car and crush it just because you dont have the bit of paper proving it has an MOT (given the police could easily check it).

For no insurance - car can be seized.
For no MOT - if you dont produce it, you can be reported for no MOT and failing to produce. Car cannot be crushed for no MOT.
