They will most likely phone the insurance company if you get stopped while the insurance phonelines are still open. I wouldn't worry about getting any points on your license.

You would if you were one of the posters on ther way to 6 points

This doesn't seem to count for a lot with some (to many) of today's BiB, especially the younger ones.

Point taken, having watched countless episodes of Traffic Cops, Road Wars, Police Interceptors etc. (purely for research purposes you understand) a lot of them seem to have rather large chips on their shoulders!

I've been in the situation of driving both a newly insured & taxed car before, without an up to date disc. Car flagged up on their systems as uninsured and untaxed. One phone call to my insurance company, one call to the DVLA, and I was sent on my way, and told to display the tax disc as soon as it arrives.
