Apparantly if you are stopped they can check on their computer (in the car) what you insurance details are.
This true? Knew they didnt like 2 years ago, but it was obviously coming.
Can they list all the modifications you've declared as well? Be interesting to see how many cars are left on the road after the idiots that dont tell their insurance.

Insurance is another matter though surely? Surely the Police are allowed to make sure your legal.

Can they not just check the insurance against the number plate?

I'm kinda in agreement with goldfish/vibrio here, i'm sure all they can check are things like registered keeper and if it has insurance or not ?
