Summers always a more active time for stops - theres always a summer drink drive campaign with the later nights and warmer weather so pretty much anyone could get pulled over after 10-11pm ish. And to be fair the older generations are worse for drink driving than younger drivers, mainly because it was acceptible all those years ago when they passed their tests, same goes with seatbelts, its the older generations that are worse for not wearing them.
We dont need any reason atall to pull someone over.
At the end of the day yes you may know that you're MOT'd taxed and insured, information that is all easily available before stopping the car via the PNC checks.
however
How do we know that the person driving that vehicle actually has a driving licence or is insured to drive that vehicle?
Its not uncommon for people to 'borrow' mates, or families cars with or without them knowing.
Many people are under the impression that from being fully comp you're insured to drive any other vehicle 3rd party which also isnt the case, generally insurance companies wont give that priviledge now unless you're either over 25, or have specifically requested it on their insurance.
