    I am pretty sure they don't.

    If you are driving without tax, you are driving illegally.

    I was under the impression that your policy will only cover you if your car is legally on the road.

    Yes. Unless there are some other details you are not disclosing. I am presuming all else is in order.

    You are covered when driving illegally

    (breaking speed limit, driving in bus lane, driving drunk, driving unaccompanied as an L driver etc)

    I'd be inclined to believe this, it would fit with why having insurance is supposed to be a requirement of getting renewing motor tax, whereas if tax was also a requirement of insurance, then it would be all too easy to get landed in a situation where neither could be gotten!
