Vehicle seizure recovery problem

Being honest mate, I haven't a clue what your policy or certificate states. What I was referring to is the bold print across many certificates stating you cannot use the policy to release an impounded vehicle. I would suggest that's to stop you getting one out using third party cover that uninsured. However if you are caught without insurance you could end up in a catch 22, purely down to wording that may contradict the law.

I would like to see one of these cerificates you refer to !

The Limitations to use on certificates restricts the policy to only being allowed to recover the vehicle on the insurance certificate , it means you cannot use your certificate to recover your mates car ( under the third party cover extension ) .

You really ought to understand what you are talking about when trying to be helpful !

I think if you actually saw one it will say any vehicle that is not the property of the policy holder or in the policy holders custody or control at the time of the seizure.

One might suggest you listen to your own advice when discussing nips. :rotfl:

I know exactly what they say and look like and what they refer to , you don't
I know about NIP's too more than can be said of others .

So why are you posting misleading information?

If someone is driving on third party cover and the vehicle is seized as they are unable to prove insurance. Is that vehicle in their custody or control? So you can bail out a mates car on third party cover.

No you cannot . The only vehicle that can be released from seizure is the car that is specifically insured ie . The one detailed on the insurance cerificate - quite simple for intelligent people..

Says who you?

So why does it mention custody or control at the time of the seizure on an Aviva certificate?

Minrich

Well yes . I makes no difference who was in control or had custody after the seizure as to who can recover it. Any person who has a certificate of insurance and driving licence and permission from the owner can recover it.

So you can get your mates car out?

Still can't.

The only thing required to remove an impounded car is the permission of the owner to the person collecting with the required insurance and driving licence for its use on a road . Quite simple . Anyone can collect it if they have the insurance to do so and licence. There is no "Force Policy" that can stop this happening as it would be illegal.
As above , get the Bro in Law on the OP's Insurance , job done.

Or maybe you can.

You're not really sure are you?

I'll leave you to ponder your contradicting posts.

Minrich

I am very sure .... You can get your mates car out if you have insurance in your name , the certificate of insurance is in your name and you have the required driving licence . Hasn't really changed , your just dim

The car in the compound only needs valid insurance and a person legally entitled to drive it for it to be released . This insurance can be the owner or another persons , as long as the other person has permission from the owner to recover it for him ..

My sons car is insured by Aviva , i have the certificate infront of me and nowhere on it does it say what you have typed , nor is it in the Policy wording , so i don't know what you are on about ! Put a photo of the wording on here?

Should I maybe go to a solicitor to look into this for me? I'm panicking a bit, it says on the police slip I have seven days to collect it.
