I think I literally /always/ have my wallet with me, precisely because I never know if I will need some money
The curse of capitalism
Yeah I'm normally the same, I also normally have my phone as a backup payment option, this was a very unusual situation for me!
I left my wallet at work last night and then my phone at home this morning so I was miles away from either option!

Made it, but must have been on fumes at the end!
You can get a ticket for “Driving without due care and attention” if you run out of petrol on the motorway too, I believe.
After a similar experience put years on my life from the stress it caused, I've taken to leaving a £10 note in the car incase of emergencies.
I think you are right that it can be punished, luckily I got away with it!
