Correct, but that is the only time you need your insurance and here they use any excuse to get out of paying.
The police only seriously check vehicles that are in life changing accidents, however, if you get stopped for a minor infringement, and they spot a serious defect such as a defective tyre, they will go over the vehicle looking for offences to add to the charge!
And you do get stopped for minor offences. To carry out a breath test they have to have a moving traffic offence to warrant stopping you so, depending on the time of day, anything goes.
Not worth the hassle for a couple more mpg!
