Fair enough Simon. You have your interpretations, my insurers and a family member who is in the police force has another. I'll trust them thanks

 

mainmatt,

well thought out replies and hope you get another scoob soon

we have all learned from this one, and i for one respect you posting it up.
it cant have been easy!!!

all the best in the future

 

as you just found out a typeR is a different beast to a 4 door,just glad you walked away ok tho but i'd have found a rolling shell and swapped bits over,was it a V3,4,5 or 6 typeR?

 

To pay somebody to re-shell the car for you would cost ££££'s.

To do it yourself, if you can, would be a good plan.

You are a daft sod for getting yourself in this position to start with as you may not have been so lucky and a third party could have been involved but you are in this position and the only way is forwards.

If you can do the work, then shell it, if you cant, then sell it

 

Buy a Delorean, go back in time, kick the living $hit out of yourself before you get into the car Make sure your unable to drive car until Monday so you need to give yourself a right 'doing' over If u think about it this is a win win situation, your cars in tact, no points on licence and no fine to come.
and everybody on here won't be tearing a strip off you for what happened

Everybodys happy

I'm off now after giving u that useless piece of information

 

What you mean of course is what is in the terms and conditions, as the certifciate doesn't go into that detail....

I've not had a policy for a long time that permitted me to drive (according to the policy documentation) another car unless it was already insured in its own right....its all different now, way back when you had 7 days from changing you car in inform them, during which your new car was insured in place of the old.

When I was banned for dangerous driving, I had a car sitting outside my house for a month while I tried to sell it, so I cancelled the insurance. after about 3 weeks, the police knocked on the door asking whose it was (it had a flat and bird sh@t all over.) I told him all of the above and was done with no insurance. 8 points and £175 fine.

He told me to get it shifted and when I asked him how I could do this without insuring the car, he told ,me "anyone with fully comp insurance could drive it TPFT, even if the owner doesnt have a policy on the car."

I now have a UK Impreza with 320bhp, I still have my 8 point and the dangerous driving charge and I'm £880 fully comp with Egg.

It could have been worse, mate.

Although £5500 lost? Jesus...............

 

how do i add pics?

 

I jioned this Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket
Add your pics to this, then post the links in this thread.

 

 

U could borrow a motor traders policy for the producer? I am of course assuming you know someone in the motor trade?

 

 

I bet the fine for not having insurance will be a whole lot cheaper than having insurance on a TypeR

 

 

bloody hell, and you werent going fast?

 

r u sure u did not crash it on purpose after realising the colour was just wrong

 

What a silly sausage.

 

it didnt seem i was going that fast. The colour looks a lot nicer in the flesh

 

This guy say's he has never.....

mac12

He say's
"we have all done it"well let me set the record straight we havnt "all done it"

So you you better get some salt for them pants!!!

 

Did you say it had lost 5.5k of value before or after the crash?

 

Hmm,

T-cut wont sort that out.

 

Can i just ask?

What have the police made of this situation :P

 

i have done daft things but i have never drove without insurance now how can i make that clearer so you can understand.

what are you on fella STRANGE PERSON

 

well the car was worth 8k so i have lost most of it. the police were really good about it, a traffic cop came and just gave me a producer, apparently your supposed to get a £200 on the spot fine, maybe he felt sorry for me

 

You're still going to get some points when you fail to produce your insurance, whether he was nice to you or not

 

take the £2500 and put it on Manchester United to beat Chelsea on sunday and when 6.30pm arrives you will have £5000

 

Or maybe he know's what's coming?

 

Some police force areas have fixed penalty tickets that are £200 and 6 points for people who drive without insurance.

Because of the aggrevating factor that you crashed a ticket probably isn't suitable so you might be going to court

 

i for one feel sorry for ya mate...and it was a nice looking car aswell
produce your old insurance and say the car was wifes, mates, dads,
there will be no problem....good luck

 

Except for the sentence for perverting the course of justice eh
