Jamie you selling the Civic? its on RMS?

Bummer, knew it didn't quite make sense :(

But you are a twat so you worked that out wrong :lol:

Whenever I've bought a car I've had a quote lined up. Bought the car, sat in it on my phone to call the insurance company, quote the number, buy the insurance then drive off knowing I'm not a twat.

Day insure would have solved a whole lot of issues here.

If he said he bought it he's not insured driving it under other cars anyway.

I got a letter of dvla or vosa yesterday saying my car was not on MID as insured. I pay over £3k a year for my traders and the wankers at my brokers forgot to put it on . Then the cunts said I have a 25k limit and to put it on they want a further £500 .


End of day if you have no insurance it's your own fault pal . Why should everyone else except for people who use my broker have to pay and be insured .

Why didn't you just buy temporary insurance online?

You wont get off of it.

Go to the station and accept the TOR or he will just summons you to court.

In the future dont be a dick and insure your car before driving it.

I think every car I've ever bought I've never insured until I got it home.

No idea but to be fair no insurance is very "felt" spec. Doubt you will get out of it, shit happens.

Yea not denying that I'm a tit :lol:, on the busiest weekend of the year in my town too :facepalm: Licence is clean, kept it clean for 4 years and got 4 years no claims bonus too, silly of me and definitely a lesson learnt

You drove knowing full well you weren't insured because you couldn't wait a day or two? Bit of a silly move that. Get legal advice, but as I showed you, he didn't have to give you anything because he told you his intentions.
We all make mistakes, but hopefully you learn from it. I doubt you have a clean licence just now? Will the extra points be a ban or nine points?

Didn't forget, insurance company was closed so couldn't get it changed over to the new car, my old car was still insured fully comp but obviously that doesn't matter as it doesn't cover any other car, if I'm fucked I'm fucked but if theres a chance that because I still haven't been issued a ticket I can get away with it then I'll take it

Take legal advice before you do anything.

Most decent firms will offer free advice on something like this to start with.

Did you forget to buy insurance?

Not sure if its different over there, but the whole NIP within 14 days thing isn't black and white. He doesn't have to give you one at all really. If he cautioned you at the time, or told you it'll be a court summons, that's adequate information.

Basically, you're fucked. Naughty.

:facepalm:

I was caught for no insurance on Sunday 24th August, police officer who dealt with the situation seemed a bit of a twat and didn't really know what he was doing as he didn't know how to arrange for recovery truck etc and when he did seize the car he didn't do a check list for any marks or damage on the car, he was giving me a fine of £200 and 6 points which I said I would accept but he didn't have any tickets on him at the time so he took my phone number and said he would contact me when he was back in my town. The only paper work I received on the night was a seizure notice for the car and nothing else, nothing to do with the offence etc.

Yesterday somewhat 2 weeks later the officer rung me to see if I was able to call in to the police station to get the ticket it off him or if not he would just send me a court summons, I wasn't around so still haven;t got a ticket.

Is there a chance I can get out of with it or just take it on the chin?
