Money Moral Dilemma: Should I sell her my car?

Sell her the car.

If you are willing to be the one to inform the relatives of anyone she kills or maims on the road.

Very tempting to take the £650 and then call the police to tell them she is using the car without a licence and tax. She's going to get a car from somewhere and drive dangerously and illegally anyway.

Don't do it under any circumstances, The consequences can be disasterous.
My son was run into head on by a driver who was uninsured and no licence. Both his legs wer broken, and he spent the next two years having his legs in frames to get them the right length and straight.
He had just been selected to represent his country at a European championship in one of the UK's major amateur sports, being a member of the England squad. This accident destroyed his sporting career, and put his working career back two years.
Would you like that on your conscience?

Everyone seems to be focusing on the minor details of this case, such as the car and the legalities of not having a licence. Let's get back on track.

She's an exotic dancer! Mmmmm.....exotic...

She has told you she intends to break the law. For her own good, and that of other honest motorists on the road, not only would I not sell her the car, but I would report her if I saw her driving another one - she lost her licence for a reason, she has not said why but they don't take them away for careful considerate driving!

Another aspect is that you would surely be an accessory before the fact too, and how do you know she would transfer ownershp of the car, you might end up with thousands of parking tickets and speeding tickets!

I would personnally sell the car to her.

I would charge her slightly more (not the £1500), but only enough to cover a complete service so that i knew the car was safe, and had a full MOT.

I would then mention it to a friend, and insinuate that they cantact the police with the details of where she works, so that they can stop her.

conscience covered and car off-loaded. I would then try and convince her to get the licencse and insurance sorted. (using the balance of the £1500 should cover that......):T

sell the car and have a nice holiday with the extra, by the time you return from your fortnight away the police will have pulled her when she drives through an anpr check.

Because it's your responsibility to sign the V5 and send it off when you sell the car ?
Just a thought.


Lives are wrecked by insured drivers and uninsured drivers a like.
Also drunk drivers, young drivers, old drivers, male and female.
Just because someone isn't insured doesn't mean they go round looking for people to run into.

Anyone can cause an accident.

Many people genuinely make a mistake and forget or a DD is cancelled or whatever. - I'm not suggesting that is the case here.

Not a problem as the seller completes it and sends it to the dvla to notify them that you are no longer the owner- fail to do this and you may have a problem, otherwise not an issue.

I wouldn’t worry that she’s upset with you for holding back from a sale. You obviously have scruples - stick with them. If she’s idiot enough to plan on driving the car without insurance, then she’s a liability. If she hits someone while uninsured, figure out who will cop the bill – it won’t be her. Would you want to be complicit in this? If she’s got the money, then she’ll probably get another car anyway, but your conscience will be clear. Tell her you’ll sell it if she gets the paperwork sorted out, otherwise she’ll have to look elsewhere.
