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.

so why are you fraudulently using the askmid site? it clearly states and has a disclaimer that you're checking your own car

"I am entitled to the insurance information about the vehicle detailed above for one or more of the following reasons: It is either registered/ owned/ insured by me or my employer; I am permitted to drive it; I am an Insurance Broker or agent and acting on behalf of my client.

I understand it is an offence to wrongfully obtain information of this nature without any of the above reasonable causes. If I fail to provide true reasons for acquiring this information I may be committing an offence of unlawfully obtaining data contrary to section 55 of the Data Protection Act 1998. I declare that the information provided will not be used for any purposes unrelated to this enquiry"

do you like breaking the law?

There are lots of laws/rules that do not get enforced. I think the web site owners are aware who uses their site.
I have emailed the police, saying car not insured, they did not ask me any questions.

You need to get yourself out with whatshisname on the community speed watch.

Seriously! The way this community here like to go snooping around and always want their nose in everyones business playing the holier than thou card

I bet just 24 hours with you, especially as we're on a motoring forum & i'll assume you drive, will show that you don't follow the letter of the law as well as you seem to like to suggest.


Why did i use it? Because i can. Is that good enough?

Don't like me using it because 'it's bad'? Report me then


Oh and how rude of me, i didn't answer your question at the end. Yeah i love breaking the law, it gives me a buzz. Is that the answer you were looking for?

So what have you done about said driver? Except start a thread he’ll probably never see.

From the poster who checked details he (technically) wasn't allowed to regarding someone else' business in order to support his moral outburst.

The irony is strong in this one!

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".

Translated into:

The car was going to change lane in front of me, that's my bit of road so as I have a dashcam, i sped up to make the gap smaller but he still insisted on trying to squeeze in. How dare they to move into my space? The cheek of it.

Threads like this is why I keep coming back to this forum. It's like a bunch of bickering kids!

"Ummm. You broke the rules. I'm telling!"

Hilarious.

Driving whilst not insured is quite a serious offence, some don't see that.
