How can I prove to a court that I have valid insurance?
I recently bought a car and transferred my insurance policy from my old car to my new one; the insurance broker told me it would show on the system immediately, but I was pulled three days later and had my car impounded.
I produced my documents to prove I was insured and they released my car but now the authorities are trying to take me to court to give me a £300 fine and six penalty points. What should I do?
