Have you heard the latest on insurance!

but whats wrong with displaying an MOT disc and an insurance disc in the window of the vehicle along with the tax disc :idea:

They have to do that in Ireland, all displayed together. :wink:
They send you a fine now if a vehicle registered in your name is not taxed or declared SORN, they don't have to see you driving it. So what's to stop them doing the same for uninsured vehicles that are not on a SORN?
I'd also like to see automatic fixed fines introduced, say £1000 if you're found driving an uninsured and/or untaxed vehicle and £5000 or higher if you're involved in an accident driving one. :twisted:

Not that I do it, but a decent fine would stop me even considering it.
The only problem with fines is that the little Chav's who don't isure their cars also can't afford to pay the court fines and usually get out of it due to there low income. :evil:
If the courts could make them work off an unpaid fine (including working weekends) then that would be OK because forcing them to work would be even worse for them, poor things - having to get up early every morning for work - they only get up early on giro day at the minute (they are too tired after a hard nights boozing and car stealing).
Bob696:
any sort of punishment is only effective as a deterent if people think they will get caught.
This sort of idea (just like the sorn) will only effect a small minority of people who knowingly break the law. The vast majority of people affected will be people who simply forgot to get it sorted.
The real wrong doers dont register the car to themselves in the first place. They arnt going to be caught by databases or cameras and there are woefully few actual traffic cops on the road.
TimM:
Too right Bob,
whatever happen to the bobby on the beat, always one around the corner to catch you in your wrongdoings, and who knew who you were if you ran off.
I don't remember those days, but they sound a lot better than modern day life.
:cry:
Manicminer:
I was under the impression that if you had either no tax or no MOT then you automatically had no insurance. Would they crush your car on principle for this?
