V unlikely, the motor insurance database doesn't update immediately (end of month maybe?), but make it a priority to get sorted.

My advice has to be that you cant drive until you are covered again, even it means having to take out temporary insurance for a few days. If they catch you uninsured with a kid in the car it might aggravate things

But tbh I don't think you will have any consequences for this if you weren't caught at the time, put your reg into the Insurance Database (public) if it comes back saying you're still insured you won't be setting off cameras.

Petrol stations do make use of ANPR technology but it's their own system, it doesn't connect to the police/insurance stuff - it would only be used if you drove off without paying, committed a crime in the station or if the police made a specific request to them like tracing a stolen car or missing person etc
