Most people dont know, but insurances regularly wriggle themselves out of anti-debt-insurance that are usually sold with leasing contracts.

In the UK this does not happen.

You are required to get your own fully comprehensive insurance, and can select from the whole market. The vehicle will not be released to you from the car dealership without proof that you possess such insurance.

Please declare which country you are talking about, as the article described the UK and your claims are not true with regard to the UK.

There are many UK car dealers that will sell you a 7 day insurance certificate to 'drive away today'. This is quite convenient usually as it allows them to tax the car as well for you, so it becomes road legal.
