    To help you appreciate the situation better, you should understand that the purpose of insurance isn't so you won't get in trouble with the Guards, but that you are financially covered in case you have an accident and either you, your car (with comprehensive insurance), the other party or their car, get's damaged. So you don't have fork out possibly very large amounts of personal money which you possibly don't have.

    Although it's a legal requirement and you will get in trouble if the guards catch you. Your primary concern should be, what happens if I have a crash while driving. And sometimes accidents happen.

    I know you know not to go without insurance now, but you should appreciate the real reason why.
    Well said - not many people actually think of it from this point of view.
