Is there not a conflict between both of these?

Some policies include DOC cover which does not stipulate that the car to be driven must have its own insurance policy in force.
But I thought that continuous insurance rules result in an automatic FPN through the post of £100 for a car which is taxed but not identified on the insurance database as being listed on an insurance policy.

Does anyone know how this works?
Obviously if you were pulled up while driving you could demonstrate you are driving the car under the conditions of your other insurance policy, but how would you get round a FPN being issued by a computer?
