My ‘other’ cars tax and insurance are six months apart and the insurance is paid by direct debit. On one occasion all the paperwork came through at the appropriate time so all was fine until I tried to tax the car on line six months later. DVLA had no record of the car being insured. Call to insure revealed that they had failed to take the payment out of the bank and therefore I was indeed not insured. I should have checked my bank account more carefully but it isn’t always obvious with so many direct debits and standing orders.
So be warned it isn’t just ‘the small print’ that one needs to read!

That would have been an interesting situation if you had been stopped by the police, with the insurance company failing to take the money but still issuing the certificate.
