Can I be fined twice for not having insurance on my car?

Can I be fined twice for not having insurance on my car? I was not caught driving as it was just parked up.

Unless you have SORN'd the vehicle, yes. By law, it either has to have a policy of insurance continually in place or must be declared SORN.
