A friend of mine has just bought a beavertail Transit to have a go at collecting scrap motors, and a bit of buying and selling. The van is all legit, taxed and tested, but he doesnt have his own insurance policy on the van. He's named on his dad's insurance, a trade policy, but obviously carrying on his own 'business'. Incidentally, his dad does the same, shifts cars and scrap, so its 2 seperate businesses running off the same policy. Is he likely to run into any problems operating this way? Likewise, using someone else's waste carriers licence, for his own work.....

Just to point out, this is someone else, and not me talking about myself in the third person!
