a) its the government that set the laws, not the police, so its not their fault with sentencing etc.
b) She was in the wrong, she didn't have the proper insurance and got done for it. Imagine if she hits your kid (if you have one) and puts them in a wheel chair for life, but her insurance turns around and says they aren't paying because she was using it for business. How would you feel about it then?
c) ignorance is no defence in the eyes of the law.
You sound like one of those people that complain about parking attendants giving tickets out. Really annoys me because to get a ticket, you were in the wrong, you are just annoyed because you were caught.
I'd lol because the insurance company by law would have to pay out regardless.
I wonder if you'd say the same if it happened to YOUR wife or sister.
Not really, if she is reguarely delivering sandwhiches in her car it doesnt take a genius to figure out you need buisness insurance. Hell I drive an MX-5 and at most I have to drive between a couple of sites 5 minutes apart maybe once a week and even I have buisness insurance to cover that!

Quite - this is what confuses me about the entire thing. Disputes contractually between the insurer and the insured do not waive the insurers obligation under the Road Traffic Act therefore I cannot see how she was legally uninsured, therefore I cannot see what the 6 points were for.
It's a woman I bet when she got the insurance she phoned up and said "will it cover me for xxx", the other party probably said yes.
If you use your car for the motor trade then yeah most people will expect it to have business/motor trade insurance.
She clearly didn't know about it, he could have given her a warning no need to give the 6 points. Police officers can use there own brain in situations, there not some robots that have to follow the rulebook.
There's a saying "wish for others what you wish for yourself", in your case I hope it hits you hard.
A few sandwiches in a car is hardly major fraud compared to say delivering tons of material in a wagon or carrying around people in a mini bus, where people can get hurt and massive damage can occur.
A stern warning or let them ring up on the at the scene and then and change the policy, takes what 5 minutes on the phone these days.
