Gatso fine - unlicensed rider!

If it was a mate's bike, why didn't the mate get the NIP?

The GPO? I didn't realise you were that old.

Oh, indubitably.

 

<Raises hand>

 

In the days of universal Rider Policies, it wasn't a problem. You just
took it for granted you were covered. It's easy to find you aren't
nowadays.

Any and all.

I demand nothing of you except that you amuse me.

 

I was making more of a general rather than a specific point.

I miss the old Rider policy. Nice and simple it was.

Oh right, in that case

I think you're right. That always used to be the case, or have they put
DD on your licence for life now? ISTR someone mentioning this a while
back but I didn't take too much notice because I don't drink.

I know that normal points only count for 3 years but stay on for 4, but
inscos want to know about any points in 5 years, the bastards.

I haven't lost my mind, it's
backed up to a floppy disc
that's around here somewhere.

 

Try it for real. I dare you. Then provide proof.

Decry those with actual experience of the situation in favour of your
own 'web-based research' then - and see how far it gets you in the
real world, snot gobbler.

No, that's your mum.

 

I just did. Resulted in a 40% increase in premium for me.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Lozzo amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:

You ****

 

Which also is the time for a conviction resulting in a fine to become
spent under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act, 1974.

Coincidence? I think not....

 

<wince>

The spirit of adve^H^H^H^Hfoolhardiness is strong in you, Matthew.

 

These days, if I'm not mistaken, a Catagory P entitlement needs a CBT
to validate it.

I'm sure it says on the back of my CBT that I can only drive a moped
on a full car licence if I send off my CBT certificate, that way I can
have Cat-P added to my licence as a full entitlement. So it would
seem that one does need a CBT for a moped now. I might be talking
bollocks, mind you.

 

The amount of points that are given to the other offences are normally
listed as 2, 3-6, etc, but for MS60 it says "As Appropriate"

Hmm.

 

Info from my handy-dandy Rat mate. Yes, DD stuff stays on the licence for 10
years. Everything else is "counted" for 3 and can come off after 4.

 

It's OK though. He gave your name.

 

He does that, the fucker.

 

MattG says...

That's about what I get stung every time too. Still, at 253 quid to
insure a Gixer Thou I ain't complaining too much.

Thought the typing was a touch erratic.

 

My son has a drink/driving conviction (it was a morning after thing),
it has no effect at all on his insurance now being more than five
years ago. I *think* it's still on his licence though.
