Thankyou Les; Im fighting a rearguard against 'what people think they know'... This would also include: 'you cant undertake'; yes you can, and: 'if your car isnt taxed you arent insured' yes it is!


Simon :)

I was a mere whippersnapper at the time and still wet behind the ears, I wouldn't open the door to the feckers these days without legal representation:mad:

The number of times I've had this argument with MrsD is untrue.

Even with our legal system as corrupted as it is by NL's interference, your insurance company (as yet) cannot judge you on the basis of your being in debt to the Inland Revenue/Customs & Excise.

This SORN crap is a pain in the arse for us as I have to have a mot on the rally car but it doesn't have to be taxed for single venue rallying so every so every "how ever long it is" we get the sorn paperwork in the post to renew :rolleyes:

It's all a load of bollox to screw around with the motorist :mad: because we all know it keeps all the illegal cars off the road :rolleyes:

If a car driver has 3rd party insurance only ,which is all that is required by law then the vehicle actually isnt insured when its parked as it is not being driven.
As you or your mate can drive a vehicle under the 3rd party insurance of your own policy how do the police ascertain whether the said vehicle is insured or not?
I just dont see how this is going to work.

Presumably that was because you moved it though? A traffic cop actually told me it was fine to keep my car on the road with no insurance as long as it was taxed.


It's a common misconception that your policy covers you to drive another car. It covers you to drive another INSURED car. 3rd party insurance on you own policy covers any damage that the car could cause, be it driven or not, to 3rd parties, so it's inconsequential whether any one is driving it or not at the time.
