Passenger in uninsured vehicle

[bluey1905]

A very quick question chaps, if somebody is a passenger in an uninsured vehicle, are they breaking the law? Somebody on another forum has stated that they are, but I am not so sure.

Mr Happy said:

If it is a stolen vehicle, yes - if it is just uninsured, then I'd have thought no.

The offence is driving without insurance, not being driven without insurance, surely?

I realise a stolen vehicle is definitely a nick, but I don't think I've ever heard of a passenger being charged because the driver was not insured.

Edit; @trickywoo, that's what I thought. Thanks chaps
