My concern is that there will probably be people out there who have heard about the date of the 15th and towing because they think they are now legal, when in fact they are not. Will the police be out there in force booking them?

Many years ago roadside spot checks used to be a regular thing, but I would imagine that ANPR made them redundant. I can remember being stopped many times back in the 1960s and 1970s, but not since.

With all due respect Colin, why is that “a concern” that they may not be booked?… this is all the governments fault, it should have been passed by Monday but now won’t be. It is not the fault of the working man behind the wheel, so why would you be so concerned about people being prosecuted for it?

I just find it weird that today if you are pulled towing without b+e you are a criminal; in a couple of weeks time you will be a law abiding citizen….

The concern is that if they are involved in an accident their ins will be invalid and won't cover the third party.

If the insurance co decided to invalidate your policy for driving otherwise than in accordance with your licence, they might not if they considered it to be a genuine mistake, then your policy would be considered void, that is never existed, a third party would not be covered as effectively the policy never existed.
