Me too, then I know and can show who I'm insured with.


Police don't check the MIB, they use the PNC.

Police call the MIB liaison line when the PNC shows no insurance.

No I didn't say that anywhere... what I said was what people legally have to do. I have already explained what I did. I repeatedly stated I was insured, he repeatedly told me that I wasn't based on what his computer was showing him.

Anyway it is obvious you're an argumentative person/troll so I will leave you to it.

Well you have so far given two different stories to what happened. First you said that you couldn't remember the name of the insurance company and then in a further post you said you told the officer the name of the insurance company at the time.

If you had used common sense and worked with the officer i believe this would have been sorted without having the car taken away.

But you seem hung up on the fact you were told you did nothing wrong and you did what was legally required. Both are true but it didn't help you solve the problem.

I was insured to drive the car. I didn't "assume" anything. I was told directly by the officer that my girlfriend was insured, and I wasn't. He shown this to me on the computer. I am not sure what you want me to do at that point.

It's easy to say you should do this or do that, but when you're on your own sat in a police car, and a police record would ruin your career, I didn't feel comfortable to repeatedly tell the police officer he was wrong.

I stated who the insurance was with, I knew it was with admiral. He then confirmed I had been insured with admiral previously, but not since April this year.

You're stating that I need to do this, and I need to do that. The only thing a person needs to do with regards to insurance, is to make sure they're insured. Which I was.

It isn't my fault that the police system is prone to errors. Like I said, the police have admitted fault and taken care of the impound charge.

Don't worry, it's quite normal for some people on this site to have a "holier than thou" attitude. You'll get used to it .

I doubt the story or we are only getting part of it, an insured, taxed and MOT'd car gets ignored by the ANPR as their is nothing to flag let alone say who's name is on the policy, which it doesn't anyway.


So whatever the reason for the pull it was nothing to do with insurance in the first place, it may have turned into an insurance problem but it' doesn't sound right to me.
