HI the person you know wouldnt have just got stopped for the broken light as these days the police know straight away if the vehicle is insured before they even stop you what happens when you get caught driving without insurance is 1 thing you didnt mention is that the vehicle that your not insured for gets impounded straight away ! & i know that because i work for a recovery company & we work for the local police what happens is you get so many days to collect your vehicle from the compound before it gets crushed !
what happens to get your vehicle back is you have to go to the local police station to pay for charges on having the vehicle removed & providing you have the proof to say your insured for the vehicle you can then collect your vehicle from the compound !as for the fine it depends what previous motoring convictions you have ! when you go to court you will get a fine & points on your licsence ! & no it doesnt matter what situation you get stopped the fact is your still uninsured to drive that vehicle .... hope this info has helped

I suspect your friend wasn't done for driving without insurance. That, in the UK, attracts 6 - 8 points plus a hefty fine. And the car may be seized on the spot and if you don't present yourself with valid documents within 7 days and pay the recovery & storage fee it can be crushed.

6-8 points and a fine

In the good old days all court ordered punishment was usually death or transportation to a distant but hostile shore. Today you get both.
Yes, you'll get a transportation fine that makes you die a little.

Â£200 fine and 6 points. PLUS The vehicle will be seized and it costs about Â£120 + Â£15 per day storage before you can get it back. ON top of which you have to get insurance!

Depends on the situation, if you owned the car, it was taxed, MOT'd, you had a full driving license without any points etc.

You would get 6points and a fine.

However, if the vechicle wasnt roadworthy, you already had offences for drivin without insurance etc.

You would get a 12-18 month driving ban, heavy fine, in worst case could be a short prison sentence, depends on the situation though.

Personal addition: Why were you thinnking of driving without insurance anyway? What if you hit and killed someone? You could get up to 14years in prison for that. Just for not having insurance.

What if you went into someones utter pride and joy, and their car was a write off, how would they feel, their insurance isnt going to cover that.

DRIVING WITHOUT INSURANCE IS ILLEGAL, AND TBH I HOPE YOU GET CAUGHT IF YOU TAKE THIS RISK.

I was under the impression that you get an automatic driving ban, along with a fine...

Depends on where you live in New York State in the US the Department of motor vehicles requires insurance to register a vehicle and gets notified if your insurance stops you get fined a certain amount everyday you dont turn in your license plates, and can get a hefty fine or get your license suspended.
