Insured or not insured…that is the question!

If the untaxed and uninsured landy is off the actual right of way and on his private land next to the right of way then i cant see there being a legal issue. The only sticky point i can see is the boundary issue. How do you define where the right of way ends and his private land begins. Best argument there would be that the bit that is mostly worn through driving is the right of way and everything else isnt.

Good point, some legal advice was taken but raised other issues if the road unadopted ie not maintened then the whole lot considered a private drive way although the pubic have access.

I am not so sure about that bit now tbh, the more i think about it the more i think could be answered in court as it is his land and used for moving around his land.
That one i think might be a 50/50

just to keep this thread dragging on at the beginning someone said they thought it was illegal to offer a car for sale at the side of the road. Only if another car withineither 50 or 500 yards (can't remember which) is also been offered for sale. to stop homebased 2nd hand car lots springing up.
With regards to insurance there must be a valid certificate insurance on the car before anyone can drive it on their insurance. If you get a producer off the plod it says on the back, that producing your insurance alone is not enough and you must produce a valid policy for the car as well.

If the farmer owns the road, whether it's an ORPA or not, he can store and drive his own vehicles on his own land, including parking on the road that he owns without paying road tax or having it insured, all he has to do by law these days is SORN it.
These plonkers that want to close the route to motorised traffic have to realise that he is entitled to spread muck down both hedges of the lane twice a day if he wants to, it's his land.
Especially if they are causing a bit of a stink over his Landy.

I beg to differ. This was confirmed by the police officer himself when he checked it out when i was pulled over. The vehicle itself does not have to carry valid insurance in order for the third party provision to drive other cars is being used as the vehicle is adequately insured for the road.
