Ask Matt, I'm sure i saw it in his thread
Not so sure, i did a job for an officer a week ago who was moaning about the number of people that get off on technicalities still.
If the case says you were driving "XXXX XXX" with no insurance.. you're not guilty, fact.
If the case says you were driving A car with no insurance, you're guilty.
You can argue you weren't driving that car with no insurance, because you genuinely weren't driving that car. In essence, it's like them saying "you stand trial for the murder of Joe Bloggs. OWAIT, no actually it wasn't Joe Bloggs, it was someone else". You still murdered that person, but it wasn't Joe Bloggs.
