I was assuming the National Speed limit on a single lane country road (Although I do acknowledge the AT MOST bit of the statement)National Speed Limit
When you enter an area that is signed by a diagonal black stripe on a white background, you are driving under national speed limit restrictions. For most vehicles this will means 60mph on single carriageway roads and 70mph on dual carriageway roads. It is also 70mph on the motorway network unless otherwise indicated.“That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.”0 -

but surely you would check? my partner and i have put each other on our insurances, even though both of them give us permissio to drive another car third party. you will note that the permission is often only for emergencies (although not always) so what was the emergency?
The driving other cars extension is not subject to it being an emergency with any Insurer. It's a common myth, how would you define legally define an emergency to be able to enforce it0 -
It probably also states other vehicles except those belonging, or loaned to the partner (ie GF/BF/spouse), as that was a very commonly exploited loophole (I doubt there is a standard policy with DOC that doesn't have that restriction).
In which case the op's BF would still have been driving without insurance.
It's the opposite, it's relatively rare for an Insurer to exclude driving a spouses /partners /common laws vehicle under the driving other car's extension.
To find any restrictions to the driving other cars extension, you just need to find the relevant section which is under the liability section of the policy and also check the wording on the certificate for any exclusions and to ensure it is in place.0 -

I don't see a great possibility of avoiding the points for the offence, as has already been discussed at length. However, around 25% of those making exceptional hardship pleas are successful, so he's got a 1 in 4 chance.BARGAINHUNTER! wrote: »Are you serious? I could have been done as well? I knew he had fully comp insurance and every other policy he has had in the past has allowed him to drive my car third party. In fact last insurance was through same company as he had before and he renewed it for another year and I know he had it on his last insurance.
Looking at what you've said above, if he has the documentation for previous years which shows his DoV cover, it might be a useful part of his mitigation.
For example - 2008 DoV cover included with policy, 2009 DoV cover included with policy, 2010 DoV cover not included by same insurer as year before, with no explanation.
It's not going to be a major factor, but in court little things can all add up to the result he needs.I am a mortgage broker.
