rang greenlight today to restart my policy with them as the shonkster is ready almost,

i need to get it for mot soon,so rang to start insurance as i know i can then drive it too and back from an mot....

they wont start my policy unless its got mot how the fuck do they expect it to be taken for test when i cant drive it?

aparently i have to arange another insurance to take it for test.....one fookin trip, half a mile


come on, its not like i could carry on driving without mot, the police database would pick me up in no time,

try and do things the right way and get fucked over, should just drive it uninsured

 

or trailer it if you really dont want to risk the 1/2 mile drive.

 

i just dont see why they cant start the policy so i can drive it....


he said its because it might be unroadworthy.....i work for vosa, unroadworthy vehicles are my job...and it isnt one of them

itl piss through an mot

 

im a bad person but i drove one of mine without insurance cover for the couple of hundred metres to my local garage after an 8 year rebuild a few years ago.it passed and i got my insurance cover right away after.
its a risk though.

 

how can they say that you need an MOT? what about people who insure cars that sit in their garage and dont actually use them?

thats absolutely ridiculous

Sarah

 

its stupid, im 99% sure there is a bit in the insurance policy that states if its driven in a unroadworthy condition, the cover is void, so its my risk not theres....

all i want is to get it on the database as insured, then i can legaly drive it to test

 

i asked him how im suposed to get an mot, when i cant drive it because you wont insure it.....he said get cover elsewhere, then call us when its tested....

i said, you expect me to call back?

 

why tell them its got no MOT? i'd just ring back and tell them you had it tested and it passed, their T's & C's are going to be no different to anywhere elses.
just don't crash it on the way to the MOT station

 

ring the garage up and ask for the use of their trade plates

 

i assume they can see the mot database?

may try that tomorow, but i bet this happens....

them...is it motd?

me, ohhhhh yes.....


them, how did you drive it for mot, its not insured?

me,:c ry::w all::w all:

 

im still not on their insurance though....and im not letting a greasy spanner monkey drive my unrun in 500bhp saff that owes me 30k

 

i WAS going to say get a different insurer if they impose such ridiculous terms

Sarah

 

with one of their mechanics sat next to you it should be if they have the appropriate cover

 

who says you took it for its MOT? you dont have to take it personally do you, it could have been someone insured with a traders policy who took it for test like us, who would have been covered at the time

Sarah

 

it all depends if they can see the mot database...tony from greenlight may answer this thread later

 

tbh i would just drive it there, if your careful you will be fine,

i would now start looking for a better insurance company

 

who?

i need track cover aswell, which is why i chose them....been fine till now, just a real ghey rule they have here though

 

get someone you trust to drive it who is fully insured on another car that covers them to drive others 3rd party.

.

 

you cant do that unless the car that is to be driven 3rd party has its own insurance



Sarah

 

i dont know, ask tony at greenlight who the customers who dont like their service go to?

Sarah

 

anyone with traders insurance can put it on the insurance datbase if that helps at least you look insured if the police come up behind you.

 

we have it, ill do it for £500

Sarah

 

PUSH IT!!!!!!!

 

Ring the police on the day of the Mot and say their is a men with a black beard and a rucksack near a hospital etc, then when they are fannyin about go the Mot station
