If the wife is an ABer she'll know it wasn't a faulty light that got him stopped.

Well done lozzer imagine if this idiot had run in to someone or run some one over, doesn't bear thinking about !

[ummmm]

My sister had a crash driving on a provisional. The insurance paid out, no questions asked.

[pizza]

Yes ummmm but she wouldn't have been driving on her own though.

[tonyav]

Had she got a qualified driver with her, ummmm ?

[jake-the-peg]

Why "doesn't it bear thinking about" pizza?

That's why there is an uninsured driver compensation scheme

[ummmm]

Nope. She didn't even get prosecuted even though she had to admit at the scene that she didn't have a license....

[ummmm]

She was driving on her own. Well, sort of, she had her daughter with her.

[lozzer50]

all i know is that im glad i did what i did because law abiding drivers are the ones that end up paying more because of these morons

[tonyav]

Then she was a very lucky girl ( or the cop fancied her ).

You can be insured on a provisional if you're driving with another driver (although you're not necessarily insured in those circumstances).

You are definitely not insured on a provisional if you're driving on your own. If you have an accident, then the victim can be covered by the Motor Insurers' Bureau victim compensation scheme:

Uninsured drivers add about £30 to the cost of each insurance premium:

[ummmm]

I know she is. It was the wake up call she needed. She's passed her test now.

[pizza]

f.a.o jake-the-peg I meant if the neighbour is driving without having passed his test which lozzers post indicates.

[lozzer50]

how anyone can get in a car and drive without a full licence with their kids in the back is beyond me so irresponsible and lets face it illegal

[lozzer50]

yes pizza your'e right

[pizza]

very luckuy mmmm we can all do stupid things ,none of us are perfect but tragic things can happen from our stupidity in all walks of life

[pizza]

Sorry pc keys sticking and on a lighter note at least he has been stopped before a tragedy happened.
