That also won't work, as almost all policies which allow driving other cars state that the other vehicle must be insured itself.

So I also fail to see who this will catch except the most stupid of criminals who don't just declare the car SORN, and the unfortunate motorist who has (for example) put the car in for MOT, it failed and they're fixing it, but at the same time the insurance ran out.
So they now have to send in the paperwork to declare it SORN (which as we know could takes weeks), and then possibly only a very short while later, get it re-taxed...!
