Looked on Google and there is no agreement whatever as to whether or not your insurance is invalid if you have no tax. If it doesn't say that in the policy I can't see it can be legally the case.

There's no chance of getting away with an insurance claim either. If you actually have any insurance (i.e. the lack of tax was due to not bothering to read the reminder notices they sent you in the post rather than you just driving illegally), the insurance company will check the records at DVLA and see that it was crushed for non-payment of tax. So now you have a penalty for lack of tax, possibly a penalty for lack of insurance because it wasn't valid if the vehicle was untaxed, and a prosecution for attempted insurance fraud.

That said, if you're driving around without any tax on purpose, I guess you're not going to have many qualms about defrauding your insurance company either...

Now that would be a bad day out if you hadn't paid your tax...

DVLA clamping
I vaguely knew that untaxed vehicles could be clamped but hadn't realised they had clamper vans touring roads in small rural villages. Chap just up the road from me is going to have a nice surprise when he gets home.
