This is just what I was about to post... As far as I am aware, it is very common now to take a small overfill of oil out using a pump via the dipstick hole. I am not sure why the OP is assuming the entire system was drained like this when the original oil service was completed. In fact, I am sure they would not want to use this method to drain the whole system as it's a million times quicker for them simply taking the sump plug out!

Halfords staff harass me at home after their error.

Looks to me like the OP has been/is being purposely obstructive on this. For whatever reason, the attempt to process the imprint has failed. Unless the retailer is way out of the OPs area, which is unlikely otherwise he wouldn't have been getting the original job done there, then a quick visit to the store when they first contacted him would, I am sure, have resulted in a quick re-processing of his chip'n'pin and the return of the imprint counterpart. -
I can't believe how long this thread has been going on for and that so many people are suggesting "try this", "test that", "offer him £x as token"... etc etc I'm with raydetinu on this in that once the car was sold, provided there was no deceipt, then the OP has no further responsibility. Any further involvement by the OP beyond making sure the new owner collects it only adds fuel to the fire that the OP thought/knew there was something wrong with the car and tried to con the buyer into a false deal and now feels guilty at being caught out!

Even if you do have DOV cover on your current policy, this is usually only 3rd party. I wouldn't take the risk of any damage or mishap befalling HIS car by you driving HIS car on a public road.

If you are referring to a keep clear box denoted by white writing on the road, then of course you should try not to stop on it. However, I do not believe there is any offence committed if you do stop on the writing other than being accused of being a discourteous driver. Either way, just because you are stopped there doesn't make it your fault if some idiot drives into the side of your car!

I don't believe there is any way on earth you can drive over a bike and not know about it!! So, if as you say, you are totally unaware of having done so, then you absolutely can't have done it.

I would report it to the police first and suggest it appears he is just looking for a soft touch victim to defraud out of some money.

caught speeding but no camera signs on the road
crem replied to therotweiller's topic in Speeding and Motoring Offences
Is this comment aimed at anyone in particular Boltmaker, coz the OP who asked the question was "the rotweiller", and I can't see any evidence of the wingeing by them that you refer to? -
As I understand it these will only deal with uncontested cases with a guilty plea. Most likely the defendant will not even be expected to be at court and may well be a "paper exercise" only court. If the defendant needs to appear with a not guilty plea then it goes to the "normal" mags court

Interesting, but I think you will find that policy by esure is pretty unique. I have used many companies over the past 30 odd years and never had to provide a copy licence to them.

Alleged using mobile phone & late NIP
crem replied to electrogear's topic in Speeding and Motoring Offences
Yes it does make a difference. It would appear that you openly admit you commit the offence "occasionally" and, it would seem, on one of these occasions you have been seen by the police. Please stop using your mobile while driving for the safety of all of us on the road. -
caught speeding but no camera signs on the road
crem replied to therotweiller's topic in Speeding and Motoring Offences
Trying to claim you'd like them to let you off 1 offence (speeding) because you were committing another offence (Driving an unfit vehicle) at the time isn't going to be a good defence!! As Aretnap says, speeding is black and white; either you were over the limit or you weren't, there is very little mitigation that would be accepted for this offence. Take the course, or take the points, I don't think either will be disasterous to your driving career (or insurance) on this occasion. -
http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~pattle/nacc/arc0496.htm really!!! the say they don't intend to prosecute honest motorists with this SORN legislation. It would seem to me that the OP is exactly this type of "honest motorist" who had no intention of dodging his road tax.!!
-
Even if he had insured the bike previously, the insurance company would not have required proof of his driving licence to issue it so I don't think that would help at all.

crem replied to therotweiller's topic in Speeding and Motoring Offences
I don't believe there is a necessity to have advance camera signs to operate the the speed van so don't think that will negate the ticket if issued. Have you actually received a ticket yet or are you just assuming you will get one? If you've got the ticket already then I think the speed awareness course will be your only option if they offer it. -
Just a thought, but can a minor be prosecuted for this offene anyway?

While looking for some government info for this thread I came across the following re: SORN for the future. Looks like the government have finally woken up to common sense that we have all been saying for years..... that is, once a car is on SORN it should stay on SORN until the owner tells DVLA otherwise.

I agree with Michael Brown. White zigzags only govern the area of roadway between the zigzag, not beyond it like yellow lines do. By example, you will find many examples of a zebra having white zigzags around it, but even includes an authorised parking bay within the the zigzag distance but outside it's control area. Here's one https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?ll=54.908275,-1.4144217&z=19&t=h&hl=en-GB

Slight possibility you could try... Have you had reason fairly recently to submit your licence to any reliable 3rd party who may hold a photocopy? e.g. do you drive a works vehicle and if so they may have asked you to provide your licence which they have on record. or if you have bought a new car the showroom usually take a copy of a DL as proof of identity.
-
The bad news on this is I am not aware of anyone on this forum ever having successfully challenged the DVLA as being wrong on this. If you had spoken to them immediately you got your new licence back the "may" have been able to still review the old licence before it was distroyed, but as you have no idea when this error occurred I think you're on a hiding to nothing. The DVLA are never wrong and the never make mistakes. We know this coz the DVLA have told us so it must be true!!!!
-
I agree with SS. I have had this type of arrangement frequently and provided you have given all the pertinant detail to the insurers you will not have a problem. The car will show up correctly as having insurance on MIB so no issue with the police ANPR cameras

2 Speeding tickets within 1 mile on SAME motorway
crem replied to Mark_R's topic in Speeding and Motoring Offences
At 85mph you cover a mile in 42 seconds. If the camera was indeed within that same nominal distance I see no reason that a defence that it was one continuous offence would not be successful against the second ticket. -

You may find you don't need to bother with the hassle of getting it signed. As it is a replacement I think you will find in the notes that it says something like "if your likeness has not changed significantly since your last photo...." Don't forget that although you hav elost your licence, there is still a copy at DVLA so they already know roughly what you look like
