lol yeh, have to pay a fine to get it back and there's a charge everyday but i dont know if i'll have to get a full 12 month insurance or a temporary one to take it out. lucky i didnt have my license taken away though, only been driving for a few months...could have been alot worse  :angry:

How?  Never seen that before?

As long as your eligible to drive the car (or the person collecting it) then you should be able to pay the fees and get vehicle back.  Thats the way ive always understood it,

How did you not get your licence took off you ??  No insurance is an automatic 200 quid fine and 6 points. These 6 points  would mean if you passed your test recently which you say you've only been driving a few months and coupled with your age would mean that 6 points within the first 2 years would mean your licence should be revoked and retest required ???

All short term / Temporary Insurers I know of specifically exclude recovery of impounded vehicles:

You will need to arrange an insurance with a company who does not exclude this and make sure you disclose your pending no insurance conviction.

Best people to ask would be the police. Because you'll have to take your documents for them to stamp the Section165 paperwork.

Without the stamped paperwork the agent wont release the car to you.
