Section 222 Local Government Act 1972 allows a Council to prosecute re.Safety of persons within the District.
No insurance on a motor vehicle or any vehicle what ever its form would fall foul of this Section as it would be endangering the safety of persons within the District.

To a degree yes, but often no insurance goes with no tax or MOT, and in many cases no driving license.

I'm told the hearing next week is a case management hearing for the trial in the next few months.
