Thought I was covered 3rd party - but my car had been scrapped.
I was stopped driving a friends car today and was told I have no insurance to drive it. My car insurance policy covers me to drive someone elses car third party. So I believed that I was insured. The reason they said I had no insurance was because my car was scrapped. I was not aware of this as I had given my car to a mechanic to do MOT repairs and he had scrapped it without my knowledge or so it seems( I have been unable to contact him yet) I have explained this to the police at the time but they did not really seem interested.
Please help I have not had my licence long and I really dont want to lose it.
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
It all depends on whether or not your insurance was still valid. If you had a certificate of insurance then you need to have a look at the terms. If the terms say that the insurance lapses if you no longer have the car in question then you wont be covered.
You may however have a strong special reasons argument to avoid the points.
What's at stake here? Are you a new driver or do you have 6 points already? Tell me more and I will probably be able to help you avoid the points.
