from the policy wording you describe exactly what the distinction
between 'drive' and 'use' is.

It is plenty clear enough that it is hard to see how a court could
have any difficulty, particularly when the insurance policy and
certificate make a clear distinction.

Well another poster - PeteM - has researched this. See his post. The
language used on his insurance certificate refers to being covered to
'drive' a car not owned by him, but the full policy document makes it
clear that the coverage is the full 3rd party cover required by the
RTA - which goes further than just 'driving', sensu stricto,
obviously. So I'm not clear what distinction you're talking about.

This is entirely in accord with my interpretation, that the use of the
'drive' is a simple plain-english short form, which encompasses
driving, stopping, getting out, parking, filling up with petrol,
nipping into the shop to buy a paper, and all the other things the
average person would associate with 'driving'.

Most contracts these days contain a section defining important terms.
If 'driving' and 'using' are such important terms, with such a subtle
distinction, they should be defined somewhere in the policy document.
Anyone got any examples?
