But it was no ones car before then, because apparently it was brand new.The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -

These two statements are completely contradictory.
The first is completely untrue.
The second is completely accurateWe need the earth for food, water, and shelter.
The earth needs us for nothing.
The earth does not belong to us.

Maybe you could show us the summons and charge wordings for no insurance. Feel free to highlight exactly where the word driving comes into a no insurance offence.0 -

How about i just point you back to where this started.scheming_gypsy wrote: »six points is being caught driving without insurance, not owning a car that isn't insured. Can you actually get points when you're not driving the car?
.
see... right there for all to see. you see it? it's a question, i asked
the question if you could get points when you're not driving the car.
The question still hasn't been answered and i can't find anything anywhere that answers it either way.
There doesn't seem to be anything that confirms it, just that it's 6 - 8 points for an IN10 offence which is the only insurance related endorsement. When you google it, most either just come back with the IN10 explanation or none official sites that say 'driving without insurance'.
So, as you can see... i haven't said that you have to be driving it, i questioned whether you need to be or not and there's been no conclusive answer provided.0 -

I'll refer you back to use, cause and permit.
You don't need to be driving it, so there's your conclusive answer.0 -
Under the new insurance rules, it is now illegal to keep a car on a public road without third party insurance. I believe it attracts an automatic £100 fine. But driving without insurance is dealt with as a moving traffic offence and has 6 points attatched to it.PLEASE NOTEMy advice should be used as guidance only. You should always obtain face to face professional advice before taking any action.0

I think the first action for the DVLA is a warning letter.The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -

but it isn't conclusive as it's ambiguous, it doesn't clearly state anything,.. which is the problem. and like Tilt saysUnder the new insurance rules, it is now illegal to keep a car on a public road without third party insurance.

moving traffic offence = 6 - 8 points.
it seems like it's there to be interpreted whichever way it's needed to be at the time.0 -
