As Kempie says, all insurance policies are on the MID. The police nowadays use Number Plate Recognition Cameras that read the plate and instantly check it against the MID. Cancel the policy - it comes off the MID, likewise, if you don't pay monthly premiums.
The police can take your car now if it's not insured.
All they need to do is automate the system now so that the estimated 10% of drivers who don't insure get caught.
