    So daft, some people like to clutch at straws just to win an argument, this is a consumer forum. It us assumed everyone here is a consumer, if op had trade insurance that he paid 5x more than consumer insurance I don't think he'll come here seeking advice.

    It's like someone starting a thread on worst mpg cars and then someone trying to one up by saying a tank has 1mpg or something. Playground nonsense

    Have you actually read section 143?

    Keep saying that doesn't make you right.

    If your policy covers you the other vehicle need not have a policy.

    I guess you've never seen a trade policy with sdp.



    It doesn't make you right either.


    I am insured to drive any vehicle, but the vehicle also has to have it's own insurance that might not cover me.


    As I said, we are not even talking about trader policies. It would only be legal for a trader who holds such a policy to use it in connection with their business, and not just to do someone a favour. The only way a trader policy could be used would be if they were carrying out the MOT on the car.

    That is a condition of your policy not legislation.


    I guess you've never seen a traders policy covering social use?

    That would be where a trader takes a car home that is in the possession of the trader. It does not cover 'doing a mate a favour'.


    I see someone has returned under yet another name!!

    To and from work is committing is it not?

    Doing a mate a favour isn't business so is covered under sdp.

    I have and it even covers a vehicle having no insurance at all and still being legal. ;)

    No it isn't, because the vehicle isn't owned by, or being used in connection with the trader.
