Will This Scheme Work?

So,m, they're going to "save" me £30 on my insurance by.................



......charging me £400 to insure a car I never use.

This country is truely run by idiots :roll:

They'l be exempt if they are SORNed huh, that sort of implies that currently it's ok to have an uninsured car taxed and running about :-k, how exactly did it get taxed :-.

Time they stopped robbing us blind in the name of protecting us.  If I decide to use the train for siz months whilst I'm at Uni they're going to make me a criminal? for "doing my bit for the environment"?

p*****s.

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
It will be interesting the first time baliffs are sent in to seize a car under the proposed rules, and need Police assistance. I would have to find something more important to do :-'
I think its a liberty that this is being proposed.
More cops on the roads, getting the uninsured cars off the roads, as statistics show that most uninsured cars on the road are dangerous and more than likley used in the course of crime.
But is that logical to do that? Of course not. It doesn't make money for Brown's Politbureau!

Insurance is a load of rubbish anyway!

I got pulled up, car towed away, 6 points and a £360 fine for no insurance. The car WAS insured and i had/have a policy that states i can drive any car third party only so long as it does not 'belong' to me.

The was was owned by my old man but it was my name on the log book because of my private plate on it (please look at your log book, it states 'the registered keep is not necessarily the legal owner') and my insurance hand book stated i could drive any car so long as i didnt own it and the wording on the policy stated so long as it didnt belong to me (http://www.askoxford.com/results/?view=dev_dict&field-12668446=belong&branch=13842570&textsearchtype=exact&sortorder=score%2Cname)

I still got done for it even though i tried about half a dozen motoring solicitors, their response btw was 'you are right but insurance companies have more money than you and WILL win if you go to court'.

So now i have a IN10 with £360 fine which does my premium wonders  :roll: :roll: :roll:

I will calm down a little now  :lol: :lol:

Gavin.

Range Rover Blues:
Log books should stae the owner and the keeper, it would make it harder for people to sell cars that are on finance that way.  As for insurance companies they think that the keeper is the owner, some wont insure a car that is registered in someone elses's name.

Let's face it, insurance is a big scam anyway.  If you have an accident you will end up thousands out of pocket whatever happens.

JumboBeef:
I'm going to stick my neck out here, and say I agree with the idea.

If you use your motor, it is taxed and insured.  If you don't, it is SORNed.....I can't see the problem really.

While there might be a few people with a reason to have a taxed, but not insured motor, I'm sure the majority of people who have taxed/uninsured motors are driving them illegally on the road.

Anything which gets the uninsured driver off the road sounds good to me.
