Jeremy Vine meets a gangster

[Dec66]

Untaxed car, verbal threats, aggressive driving. I think she's having a bad day - about to get worse ...

How do you know it's untaxed?

Sorry, this is the first time I've seen this.

Several .gov sites can give tax info.

[Dec66]

Oh, dear. She is in a little trouble, then... does not being taxed invalidate your insurance, too?

Oh, dear. She is in a little trouble, then... does not being taxed invalidate your insurance, too?

Yup

Edit: Apparently not, learn something new everyday.

 

[slowmotion]

Was that Ronnie Pickering in the passenger seat?

 

[Profpointy]

Yup

Umm, no it doesn't

No it doesn't, if that was the case how would you take a car that has been SORN to an MOT which you need before you can buy the tax.

Oh, dear. She is in a little trouble, then... does not being taxed invalidate your insurance, too?

No because you can't tax a car unless you're insured. So if your insurance is invalid because you're not taxed, you can't get tax, because your insurance would be invalid.

Now that I do know, you must have a pre-booked appointment.

Having no road tax does not invalidate your insurance. But people who don't tax their cars often don't insure them either.

The disadvantage of having cameras all over your bike is that you cannot take your multi tool out of your pocket and stab people to death :O)

When she started with the horn. Just where did she expect him to go.

The Guardian are blurring the reg and person.

I don't see why he didn't let the car past at the point he stopped.

 

[Drago]

To be fair, i'd be very angry too if life had dealt me such a bad hand I'd ended up driving a 1.2 Cora.

 

[Profpointy]

You can insure an untaxed car (and in this circumstance I'm referring to a car that needs to be taxed). However, you will not be covered by your insurers for driving it on a public road unless, as @glenn forger says, you have a pre-booked appointment for an MOT which you require in order to tax it.

Why do you think that ? So if i neglect to tax my car my insurance suddenly becomes invalid - how so?

Who's Jeremy Vine?
