Jeremy Vine meets a gangster

[Dec66]

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

Seemingly there's no straightforward "yes" or "no".

It depends on the T&C's of your policy.

I'd wager, though, that if you crashed an untaxed car, your insurers would try to wriggle out of paying up on the grounds that your vehicle was unroadworthy.

you have a pre-booked appointment for an MOT which you require in order to tax it.

Maybe she had an appointment and was running late, then some bloody cyclist got in her way

Why Gangster? Because she is black?

Are gangsters always black then?

"You lot p*ss me off".

What lot?
Just imagine if Vine had uttered that line.

I think she meant cyclists, not white men.

Who's Jeremy Vine?

Tim Vine's skinnier and less good at stand up brother.

Sure. But imagine if he said it, meaning motorists.

Sure. But imagine if he said it, meaning motorists.

But why would he say it?

 

[CanucksTraveller]

But why would he say it?

I don't know. Why did the driver say it?

 

[Gert Lush]

Umm, no it doesn't

Okay, I was wrong. But is that in only the situation where you are going to your MOT appointment?

Edit. Just read the rest of the thread. No need to keep asking this question

 

[Dec66]

I don't know. Why did the driver say it?

Because she was annoyed by a cyclist and has a beef against them, I'm guessing.

Maybe she actually hates white people and that's what she really meant, but I don't think that sort of presumptive speculation does anybody any favours, do you?

You are "allowed" to drive without an MOT or TAX to a PRE_BOOKED mot providing you have insurance. Assuming you pass, you may then tax the car. You are not allowed to tax the car without an MOT or insurance. This is the bit that I think people have got mixed up about

If the no tax = no insurance thing were true, you would get stuck in an endless loop which would be logically impossible to escape from

That sounds more familiar to what I was thinking.

I have only fairly recently started commuting again after snapping my leg like a twig some years ago and this just depresses me and also scares me quite a bit. All it takes is some knob who has had a bad day and...
