I'm at risk of an ANPR stop

[Nigel Worc's]

Ok guys, I'm at risk of an anpr stop, as I've changed my car.

ASKMID shows my car as uninsured, and of course, it isn't registered to me yet, and has just been taxed and mot'd by the dealer.

I have the green slip given to me by the dealer, I have my driving licence & passport with me, I have my original insurance certificate showing the old car, the updated certificate showing the new car (this cover runs out on 6th July), and the new policy certificate which comes into force on the 6th of July, for a further year (showing the new car ... obviously).

I have driven the car back to Worcester from just south of Bristol without issue, but from tomorrow it starts earning its keep being driven around the country, so my chances of being stopped are high (I guess).

Anything I can do to lessen the grief ?

Keep the certs in the car, ring the insurance company and ask them to update the database?

Personally I'd prefer to keep photocopys in the car as opposed to the originals.

Not really any originals regarding insurance now, so it seems, the stuff is e-mailed to you, and you print it out.

Passport, licence, and insurance are always in my wallet, V5C (which I don't have yet) is normally at home, MOT is normally with the cars service record.

Well I am surprised, this anpr isn't perhaps quite as widespread as we think. (or it doesn't work very well).

I've been M5, & M6, & M54 to Telford, M54 & M6 & A14 to Desborough, A14, & M6, & M42, & M5, back to Worcester, I passed one marked west mids police motorway car, and was passed by another.

No stop at all (not that I'm complaining mind).

Well it's flagging up as on the mid today, so providing the pnc gets updated, I'm in the clear now.

I'll still carry everything for a few days, just to be sure.
