    Is that what you do that when you're not being a dodgy car salesman or a dodgy builder?

    No wonder this forum has gone seriously downhill. Between members who argue for the sake of it and trolls like NUH this place is an absolute joke! And even worse people bite badly, it's embarrassing. Arguing hand over fist what is right what is not when it's quite clear some posts have the sole purpose of inflaming problems

    Doesn't stop you, didn't you repeatedly post wrongly about insurance allowing you to drive other vehicles?

    No I didn't. But I did correct you. It's common knowledge that most policies nowadays require the 'other car' to have its own policy. You clearly have other ideas despite it being discussed around here over and over again and near enough every poster who has checked their own policy finding such a term. But not you, you find a couple of insurers who don't then use it to conjure up misleading claims

    Not wanting to argue, but can you show me some?
    None of mine have this requirement. A quick (random) look at Churchill does not require it either:

    Section A Liability to other people 1a Cover for you
    We will cover you for your legal liability to other people arising
    from an accident which involves your car and:
    O you kill or injure someone;
    O you damage someone else’s property.
    This cover also applies to an accident involving a trailer or vehicle
    you are towing.
    1b Driving other cars
    If your certificate of motor insurance says so, this policy provides
    the same cover as above in 1a when you are driving any other motor
    car as long as you do not own it and it is not hired to you under
    a hire-purchase or leasing agreement. This cover only applies if:
    O there is no other insurance in force which covers the same
    liability;
    O you have the owner’s permission to drive the car;
    O the car is registered in and being driven in Great Britain,
    Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands; and
    O you still have your car and it has not been damaged beyond
    cost-effective repair.

    Note – There is no cover under clause 1b for damage, fire or theft
    to the car you are driving.

    Sounds like you didn't expect any to be named.

    Go on then... Name one insurer that don't have this term? And link to their terms...

    Good luck

    So that's Direct Line, Aviva, Churchill, More Than. Hardly small unheard of companies, I don't and have never had a condition written into the policy stating the other vehicle must be insured. Maybe your policy does because you're high risk.
  • Why does this argument always remind me of the Constable Savage sketch.


    "He's a villain, and a jailbird"
    "Yes I know he's a jailbird...............YOU arrested him on a (trumped up) charge"

    and

    "It's true, it's common knowledge"

    "Yes it gets said a lot........by YOU"
