Several things do not ring true here, but the over-riding fault is Marc's in not having insurance.
Unless insurance is unnecessary in his homeland, I have little sympathy.
I am the Worlds greatest 'corner cutter' of regulations but would NEVER drive/ride without 3rd party liability insurance. The consequences of a vehicle seriously injuring or killing anyone can be life changing - not just to the victim, but to the driver/rider, Irrespective to his own burden of guilt.

Foreign registered vehicles are permitted to be driven in UK for up to 6 months, subject to the driver being licenced, insured and having a valid entitlement to be using the vehicle. Local laws must be abided with.
This 'right' derives from The Geneva Convention.
I am in a hurry right now, but will post links later.
