Driving whilst banned

<< < (4/9) > >>

Merlin:
Even in an "extreme emergency" you will have NO insurance cover so a bit rough for the poor succer you hit & any involved peoples family's.  Should be a definate NO NO in my opinion--Cogs

Thats why I dont go there anymore .... the moderation is biased to say the least

thermidorthelobster:
I chose "extreme emergency" - I'd rather be driven to hospital with a ruptured appendix by a banned driver, than wait for an ambulance.  But I'd say it should be pretty much a life-or-death situation, not somebody about to miss a flight!

And even though the insurance is theoretically automatically void in this case, IIRC in the few cases when this has arisen the insurers have assessed on individual merits.

Would you really put your life in the hands of a banned driver, with no medical training, no equipment on board and un marked vehicle rather than a fully trained , fully equipped N.H.S. paramedic/ med practitioner?

Okay, I know I'm biased towards N.H.S. but to trust your life to some
one as irresposible as a drink driver is , in my opinion, not an option.

thermidorthelobster:
Well, that depends on how long you'd have to wait.  If both vehicles were there with the engines revving, I'd opt for the ambulance.  But I'm currently in a fairly remote village in Devon, and I'd say it would take at least 20 minutes to get an ambulance here, so I might take my chances.

With a banned driver you are at least talking about somebody who knows how to drive and has passed a test.  They may even be an exemplary driver, when they're not getting drunk.
