Wrong,
There have been numerous test cases on the point of insurance in it's own right, and it is NOT needed, it is not a point that any insurer can insist on, due to the last man standing rule, this was decided by Law Lords after mucho deliberation.
The towed car needs to be steered, so is seen as "in control" of the person in it, being towed ins't even relevant.
If you run out of petrol and get push the car anyone in contact with the car is classed as in control, even if pushing from the boot with no one steering, or if a 10 year old lad is steering, he is in control in law.
I have driven a MGB GT with no insurance of it's own to the mot place, only a few miles and the passenger/owner is a traffic cop(bike).
