He probably got stopped cos the computer in the police car alerted them as it being uninsured. Well, that's if it's all as high tech as they say on them programmes

Thank you, this is exactly what happened.

yes it does, ding dong............

Why was he stopped, well, you don't get stopped for nothing do you???, let's see, I were driving an uninsured car would make sure I did nothing to warrant being stopped...

Safety of other people on the roads and not driving in a way that warrants being STOPPED, clear now?

!!!!!! he was stopped for not being insured.

I know a bloke (he's a complete t*sser aswell) who has no licence (disqualified) but pays out for insurance on the cars he drives :rotfl:

He says does it so he has less chance of getting pulled over.

Sorry, not what the thread's about i know.

He'll be right too as they car will come up an insured so the ANPR won't pick it up. You would think there would be a check on insurance to make sure you actually have a driving licence. Of course his insurance is completely invalid (apart from to third parties)

Plus if he is down as the owner of the cars ( Not that he would be that stupid):rolleyes: he will also be down as a driver with no licence . Hense why the technology in the car is linked to the DVLA , PNC and other fabulous technologically sound computerbobs.... simples

Thanks for that but maybe I didn't make myself clear enough. The friend driving me home would have their own insurance. They wouldn't own MY car so it would be OK I think.

Just incase it hasn't been mentioned, the vehicle you wish to drive as a third party has to have it's own insurance.

IE if i drive your car, you have to have insurance and i have to have the 3rd party cover, if the seller had cancelled their policy, then the car would have no insurance, regardless of your own policy

Even if the seller didn't cancel their insurance. Once you've handed over the money they no longer own the car, so the insurance is not valid.

This is the grey area Carlos. A lot of policies do not mention anything about the vehicle that you want to drive having its own insurance. Even the ABI haven't provided clarification. You could test drive a vehicle by driving off private land and park it back onto private land.

Of course if you drive the vehicle, park up and buy 20 B&H, then the vehicle is being left/used on a public road/highway or a public place without insurance.
