Caught for driving with no insurance....check your small print!

Moral of the story - always make sure you are insured, don't make assumptions!

To assume makes an ASS of U and ME!

Whilst the obvious answer was to move the car himself - lets face it, how hard can it be - if he really was convinced he couldnt move it and it was in the carriageway in a dangerous position at risk of causing an accident, he did the right thing and his call was appropriate - there was risk to life if you have a stationary vehicle sitting in the carriageway on a dual carriageway with no way of moving it.

Stick it in 2nd gear and wind it over on the starter to get it off the highway? (This would work if the road was reasonably level)

Not being judgemental here but was your sister's car parked on the road when you borrowed it or was it SORN'd?

Bad that you have been caught out by this but lessons learned I guess.
