How accurate is askMID?

JustAnotherSaver

Short & sweet.

Just ran a check on a car and it's coming back as "not being insured today".

Is there any chance this is incorrect? How long does it take them to update their database & for it to show on the website?

Sometimes it can take up to seven days, when did you insure the car?

Joe_Horner

Insurers are allowed 14 days from inception of a policy to update the database. They're usually a lot faster than that but don't have to be.

New car took 3 days to get on Mid

It's not my car. It's someone who was driving around town like an absolute lunatic nearly causing an accident with their reckless driving.

Pulled the card from my dashcam to get the plate & did a check and it came back as "not insured today".

"Nearly" caused an accident. "Nearly"insured. No problem.

Does it have tax and an MOT?

Superb.

Give me your address and i can pop by your way, do 80 in a 30, drive right at you & then just as i'm about to hit you & you fill your pants because you think this is it, i swerve at the last minute & narrowly miss you

but hey, i wont have hit you, i'll have only nearly hit you.

AND i'd actually be insured too.

No problem :beer:


EDIT: for anyone putting 2 + 2 together and getting 97, i never said that this is what the guy did. I'm just going with Car 54's point that so long as nobody is hurt then there's never a problem.
