I was just looking at my car insurance certificates which I have recently renewed. I have never noticed before but the old certificate expired at 23:59 and the new one commenced at 00:00. So, for a whole minute I wasn't insured. What would happen if ANPR picked me up during that minute? Would I lose my car, or if I had an accident that could be proven to have occurred during that minute, where would it leave me other than up the creek without a paddle.

I'd not worry as you have a full minute at 23:59 before midnight happens.

Can't you just do sudoku or a crossword when you are at a loose end instead of digging up some obscure triviality that diverts us normal CCers from our programme of non stop seasonal partying?

As long as it's parked off the road before 23:59.Can't you just do sudoku or a crossword when you are at a loose end instead of digging up some obscure triviality that diverts us normal CCers from our programme of non stop seasonal partying?

It's not often a post makes me laugh out loud but this one did. Very amusing.
I don't accept the 59th minute thing. If the insurance certificate states an expiry time then that is the time. If they meant the entire 59th minute they would have specified 00:00 to avoid any ambiguity. If they can find a miniscule amount of reason to strike down a claim they will grasp it with both hands and all the small print they can muster and if the police can find a reason to dish out a penalty towards their targets (which we all know they don't have!!) they will likewise grab it.

Just wait a couple of minutes before reporting it! or if it was a ANPR check - get them to repeat the check.
