I wouldn't like to rely on that. I agree that since Vnuk the fact that the test didn't take place on a road is irrelevant but if, and I stress if, a case like this came to court any engine owner would have to convince a judge that the test was 'use of a vehicle which was consistent with the normal function of that vehicle'. This of course in the light also of any restriction on cover contained in the Certificate of Motor Insurance.
