Should she have been fined?
Or
Should the social media channel have been fined for not removing the advert?

Well, the judge clearly thought not, and I'd agree with him.

But, she pleaded guilty. She may have to declare that to future insurers, depending on exactly what question they ask.

@olduser It's an epidemic here because of the high car insurance premiums and everyone looking for a cheap deal.

I used comparison websites to get an idea of the range of prices, and what those prices covered.
Having sorted some likely insurers, I would contact them directly, to clear any questions, and make a deal direct with the insurer.

For roughly the last 20 years, I used the same insurer but I still did an annual check with comparison websites, this left me able to say, " the same cover can be had for £x can you match it," they did!

The trick was to ask questions of the Indian call centre that forced them to hand me over to a UK office.
