...It looks like it is true...I've just tried esure for a quote giving exactly the same details as my current insurer has on record for me (apart from an address in BD2 1NH)...

It is true - the esure spokesman in the newer story is quite clear.

No new quotes in BD2 and BD3 because of fake injury claims.

NeverAgain, I don't want to sound rude or demanding, but can you use the quote facility?

It is often difficult, when reading your posts, to discern what are your comments and what are soemone elses. It also helps to be able to refer to the quoted posts, so that we can see who posted the remarks and gather what context the quote is meant.

On top of everything else, it must be easier than than copying, pasting and editing.

Maybe if the Asian society in Bradford start getting hit with massive premium increases and insurance refusals then they might stop turning a blind eye to it?

Insurance companies are "kuffar", they don't have insurance for religious reasons.

You would only need to carry your driving licence if you were driving, it works in America, the licence number should then be put alongside the MID for police to check.
At present you only need to fool the camera.
It would cut insurance fraud over night, a few random stops in these insurance blackspots , licence please sir or madam, in the barcode scanner,.. yep MID says you are insured to drive this vehicle thank you very much have a safe journey.
Or would you rather pay £5,000 insurance, for these no insurance areas are expanding.

Seeing as you asked nicely.

For what it's worth, my posts are meant to stand on their own.

Also, when I am disagreeing, using just an extract from the quoted text is less obviously confrontational.

I am saying: 'I disagree with this extract', not: 'I am disagreeing with Flyboy who posted this extract'.

Amounts to largely the same thing, but I'm sure it's helped avoid slanging matches in the past.

Maybe they'll start to worry when Tradex and the like pull out of Bradford, and they can't all drive around on a shared trade policy any more.

Esure are also declining to quote in parts of Preston.

You would only need to carry your driving licence if you were driving,

Personally I wouldn't have any objection to doing that provided I only had to carry the photocard bit and not the entire thing.
At least the photocard fits nicely in a wallet or pocket.

Thanks, that's okay.

I understand where you are coming from and I know it can be a tricky thing to balance, but, several times, I have stopped short of responding to you, when you have quoted someone else, thinking they were your words. Perhaps separating it, by wrapping it in

the markers might help. Also sometimes, when you have edited the quote, it looks odd without the rest of it to add context.

Sorry, now it sounds like I am being picky, I don't intend it to sound that way.

Unfortunately not, as a claim against an uninsured driver can be made to the Motor Insurers' Bureau - which is funded by, you've guessed it, law abiding premium payers.

Maybe they should follow the example set by the people of Bradford instead of being walking piggy banks for the insurance industry.

Difficult thing to balance, because the MIB is very handy if, as a law-abiding motorist, you are clouted by an uninsured driver.

Carrying your driving license is compulsory in a fair few EU states as well as Australia and New Zealand.

I've no problem with carrying mine, just so long as I only have to carry the photocard, which I already do anyway so it'd make no difference to me at all.
