and maybe be cocker, but as i said above the accident didnt happen at speed or on a bend, it was on a stright stretch of motorway doin 70mph and the car aquaplaned which not even the best driver in the world could controll as you not incontroll of the car!

You can't really expect much if any sympathy when your asking people to condone and even assist you in breaking the law.
You can't afford to insure the car then I'm afraid you can't have it. Deal with it fella like the rest of us have to.

Motorway so 70mph but it was wet and he didn't adjust his driving accordingly. I came home from FITP at 45mph (some stretches less) as the rain was so heavy. Just because the limit is 70mph that doesn't mean you should travel at that speed. You wouldn't have been doing 70mph on the motorway in the snow and wet weather is little different even if it was dry you could do 100+ quite safely

You are a complete ass hole for even thinking of it if i'm honest, like has been said, you're exactly the reason why insurance for us young drivers is so high, even with the shittest car you can buy it is not possible for me to get insured for <Ł1200. Wether its a chav cunt with a vts engine in hit shit 1.1 saxo or a good driver with a 170 engine in his 1.4 focus, they both have the same affect if they hit somebody. Just think what you would feel like if you got hit by an uninsured driver?

Gaz, to be honest mate irrespective of the rights and wrongs of the insurance...
For the sake of a little extra top end, you may as well get a 2.0 ESP and insure it legally...

Imagine what would happen if you knocked a child over and he/she was seriously injured. The parents take you to court and are awarded a million pounds in damages (not unheard of to cover medical care etc) you would have to pay this as the insurance is void. CAN YOU AFFORD TO DO THAT.
No becuase you cant afford the money to insure th car properly in the first place.
It is because of muppets like you that decent people have to pay through the nose to drive and insure a nice motor.
It would proberly end up like the RS anyway.
A bit like V6 EDC's ST200 that went through a hedge and into a playing field. Was then damaged driving through the concrete bollards to get away before the police got there.
IF YOU CANT AFFORD THE INSURANCE THEN DONT DRIVE THE BLOODY CAR
