Car Insurance

[derek-33]

i cant find an answer to this in a search engine,
do you need to carry your car insurance details in your car or on your mobile, i do, but if another car hits you and they dont have them to give to you is that a police matter , i thought you had by law to give details to each other but what if they have insurance but cant remember any details as they dont have them in the car or on their mobile as a pdf or photo,what should you do then

I forgot to add that Section 165 of the same Act provides for police officers to require the name and address of any person they see driving, or whom they suspect of driving a motor vehicle. They must also give the name and address of the vehicle's owner (if it is not them). They are also required to produce their licence, insurance certificate and MoT certificate on demand though they will not be prosecuted if they produce the said documents within seven days. This once again confirms there is no need to carry any documents when driving.
