I can't really speak from experience with British law, but here in the U.S., you can get away with having a paper with your policy number on it, or a copy of your last insurance bill. Just a thought...

I have BBC insurance, which is about to expire since i'm stateside now. In england, in most public places insurance is a matter of being a responsible person.

As far as showing people your insurance just find out your insurance number from Bbc and tell them that. If it's a kite part i'm sure they'll be cool with just that, proves your not a complete numbskull!

I hear BBC have now changed there name (probably a good idea on account of a little know company called the british broadcasting cooperation) anyway, have fun! i miss the old country :(

it says on the BPKA (was the BBC) that if you dont have the card you should show a 'confirmation of insurance' document and no other document should be accepted

so i suppose it depends if your with BPKA or what your insurer says but i guess it would be the same really

dunno if that helps at all though
