not sure if you guys have htis, but I think that you may have.... I am going to post it anyway. it is a direct link to the motor insurance database, same as the police use to check for uninsured cars. handy to know when buying a car. just type in the vehicle reg number and check the box, and it will tell you if the car is listed as insured or not. here it is: www.askmid.com/askmid.aspx

I've known about it for a while.
It's not very accurate, it says my T4 isn't on the Database, yet I've had an active policy for a week now.

This is happening all too often. I read somewhere that the database is updated every two weeks or something, so details don't show up on the ANPR "Policing by computer" machines.

Well, it says my car is a Lupo Sport 16v. And its actually a Lupo S 16v, difference is 4 letters, 25bhp and about 6 insurance groups! no wonder it only went down a little bit from my 106 rallye!
I'll give them a bell tomorrow about it, fools!

it can take up to 2 weeks. It depends how on the ball your insurer is.

I thought that your insurer had 14 days? I know when I had a trade policy they said all new cars had to be notified before 14 days...

^ I was stopped by a copper on my way home today, his ANPR machine went off because the insurance didn't match the registered owner - the V5 had only been sent off the day before.
He was a nice bloke and let me go on, didn't give me a producer or anything, and didn't ask for my certificate of insurance. I think you get good ones and bad ones, like with anything really.
