Not sure how long it's been an offence but it certainly is now.
Aside from the general need for enforcement people getting S172 notices were claiming their vehicle was driven by a cousin who has returned to Australia. In such a case now you'll be required to show they were insured or a permitting charge is likely to follow.
I got caught locally at the beginning of last month (exact place Mrs B got 'done' 17 years ago) and that threat was in the paperwork. Speed awareness course (via Zoom) booked for end of November.
