How does a theoretical case of not having insurance companies make a car non-driveable?
-
Because auto-insurance is a requirement in some country.

a legal one not a technical one

Kind of a technical one, because if you get pulled over without insurance in my area, they will tow your car and inpound it.
-
Getting your car impounded is a legal one? There's no technical issue with your car.

Yes, in my country auto-insurance is legally required in order to pay roadtax for the car, which is mandatory to operate the vehicle on public road. It's renewed yearly, and cost a lot more than roadtax. It help pay for the damage you caused, while the more expensive plan cover your own vehicle.
UK is probably the same case because we follow a lot of the colonialist law book.

It is illegal to drive without auto insurance. Technically you could do it anyway but a single accident could cost you $70,000 or $80,000 easily. Most reasonable people don't want that kind of risk.
-
Try adding a zero or two to that estimate. If you end up killing people without insurance your life's over, with insurance if you weren't in the wrong you're mostly fine.
