Apparently, one third of drivers....
« on: 21 August 2012, 13:31:59 »

......in the West Midlands and West Yorkshire, dont understand the law regarding car insurance. I'll bet they could fill out a benefits form with their eyes closed. Are we seriously expected to believe that these tossers are ignorant of the law? They certainly know about their human rights. Grrrrrrrrrrr >:(

The police are having a crackdown on uninsured drivers, Cem. It is costing the rest of us millions in insrance premiums. These two areas have a population high in immigrants from Asia and, of course, they're not law breakers, they just don't understand the law.  ::)

And they buy £100 cars, drive them around for 6 months until they get stopped, the cars taken off them and crushed and then they buy another £100 car. Much cheaper doing it that way than paying £2000 for insurance >:(

Lunchtime news featured mobile, on-line, finger-print readers being used by the Police. Hopefully this will help the Police process them a but quicker.

I'm always gobsmacked that the fine for no insurance is such a small amount compared to an insurance premium. Ok, there are points as well, but a £200 fine is very tempting ...............

Where's the deterrent in that - they should loose their car, pay a fine and pay a courts estimate of the cost of insurance they have neglected to pay!!  That might also give them some understanding of the law  :y

Fines should be more as points on a 'non-existant' driving licence are meaningless. Bloody insurance cost a fortune now, especially for the younger. My son was quoted £4500 for a 1.1 fiat seicento.  :D

First strike fine, second strike and you lose your license (if you had one, otherwise skip this step), three strikes and it's jail time and/or deportation. Job done.

I picked up on two amazing "facts". First is 1.2 million driving without insurance. - I still can't see why it cannot be made law to carry insurance and display MOT validity in window like most other countries do. Having said that I suspect that each other EU country will have a similar amount of uninsured drivers too. If you have a prang there and then on the spot you can ask for the other drivers details. No details avalable then just call the police.

Second fact was that the aiuthorities are just about to seize their one MILLIONTH vehicle maybe as soon as today. That is one heck of a lot of £100 cars!!

IMHO, we should have strictly per-car insurance policies. If it's insured, it's on the MID, and the driver is insured for the minimum legal cover, whoever that be. If it's not insured, it can only be on the road on trade plates.

That way, anything stopped by ANPR with no insurance goes straight into the crusher. No its, no buts.

.. and yes, penalties for driving without insurance haven't really kept pace with the seriousness of the offence. ::)

I think the problem is trying to prove that the person is who they say they are. Most of the scum from this country can be traced on the PNC whereas the scum from over the water can give false names and addresses and unless they've been caught before they can get away with it >:(
