Re: Court summons

143 Users of motor vehicles to be insured or secured against third-party risks.

(1) Subject to the provisions of this Part of this Act—
(a) a person must not use a motor vehicle on a road or other public place unless there is in force in relation to the use of the vehicle by that person such a policy of insurance or such a security in respect of third party risks as complies with the requirements of this Part of this Act, and
(b) a person must not cause or permit any other person to use a motor vehicle on a road or other public place unless there is in force in relation to the use of the vehicle by that other person such a policy of insurance or such a security in respect of third party risks as complies with the requirements of this Part of this Act.

Surly this is exactly what I need, it only states road or public place, not private property.

There is also section 144A to consider, though, which does require the registered keeper of a motor car to have (at least) minimal insurance cover against third party claims. If your insurance policy covered you against such claims regardless of which motor car you were driving (or not driving) then you would appear to be safe.

You really need to speak to a motoring lawyer.

Personally. I consider section 144A to be daft - but, then, it was enacted during Blair's tenure as PM.
