Answer: No new policy can turn a past uninsured journey into an insured one.
Buying cover now protects only the future period shown on the certificate.
Do not alter dates or give false information in an attempt to make earlier driving look insured.
If you are concerned about a past uninsured journey, get proper legal advice before driving again.

BriefCover.co.uk does not recommend a particular policy. Check the insurer's eligibility rules, permitted use, exclusions and excess before buying.
