Yes, in my country auto-insurance is legally required in order to pay roadtax for the car, which is mandatory to operate the vehicle on public road. It’s renewed yearly, and cost a lot more than roadtax. It help pay for the damage you caused, while the more expensive plan cover your own vehicle.
UK is probably the same case because we follow a lot of the colonialist law book.
It is illegal to drive without auto insurance. Technically you could do it anyway but a single accident could cost you $70,000 or $80,000 easily. Most reasonable people don’t want that kind of risk.
Try adding a zero or two to that estimate. If you end up killing people without insurance your life’s over, with insurance if you weren’t in the wrong you’re mostly fine.
How does a theoretical case of not having insurance companies make a car non-driveable?
Because auto-insurance is a requirement in some country.
a legal one not a technical one
Kind of a technical one, because if you get pulled over without insurance in my area, they will tow your car and inpound it.
Getting your car impounded is a legal one? There’s no technical issue with your car.
Yet you technically can’t drive it, if it’s impounded.
With road cameras nowadays they don’t even need to catch you on the road
