If you're uninsured in the UK you can't get far without getting pinged by ANPR (as it's called in the UK). Around 11,000 cameras plus the countless mobile ones - with around 50 million reads A DAY.
It's been like this for about 10 years, but at least they don't force you pay a specific insurance provider. You get a fixed penalty fine and points on your licence. Do it again though and end up in court it's a lot more serious - unlimited fine, you can be banned and they even destroy your vehicle.
