Fortunately I was not far from home (15 miles) and the police agreed to follow me so I could retrieve my documents

If I'd had known about this, it could have all been avoided

Until fairly recently MID was mainly used by the insurance industry and occasionally by the police.

Things have now changed and Police are now using a lot more

I agree its good to check but just keep the 7-14 day info in mind; if your insurer has a decent admin system details should be added the same day
