Answer: Do not keep driving after the stated end time. If the provider does not extend policies, arrange a new one before the current cover finishes.
Traffic, ferry delays and breakdowns can make a short trip much longer than expected.
If you need more cover, stop somewhere lawful and safe before using your phone to arrange it.
Wait for confirmation that the new policy is active before moving again.
