    • @Man in the middle I've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • Thanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe concenquences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points?
    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hi sorry about this post but, could someone please point me in the right direction with regards to Driving my GF's car whilst not insured.(she was ill and unfit to drive) I was stopped and she was told that she committed an offence by allowing me to drive uninsured, BUT, the police did NOT arrest her on the spot and not caution her and let her go on her way. I was arrested. NOT her! Need advice but can't find the right threads. Please help!

Bhuna, this seems to have gone un-noticed. I'm not sure if it should be here or on another motoring forum, because I don't know them all that well. I'll ask the mods to have a look.

 

My best, HB

what has happened is correct

you are the one that needs insurance

the only thing they could do to your gf is the 'giving permission bit'

which they dont bother with as such

 

else its 'twoc'. and you dont want that

OK both you and your girlfriend have committed offences.You drove a motor vehicle without insurance.She allowed it to happen.The decision about how to deal with an offender is to a certain extent left to the officer dealing with it, yours was the most serious offence and you were quite rightly arrested, however the officer may have decided that it was more appropriate just to have a word with your GF and point out that she had committed an offence and leave it at that, given what you say about her being unwell/unfit to drive the officer may well have taken that into consideration.I'm not sure what you wanted from your first post, it almost reads like you are complaining that your GF wasn't arrested Mossycat

Bhuna76, do you have your own insurance policy (i.e for another vehicle) that you are the main driver on? If so, you may have the DOC (driving other cars) clause on the policy which allows you to drive any car with the owner's permission.

 

If not, I'm afraid you may well be charged with driving without insurance and have to answer the case in court. The likely outcome is a fine and 6 points on your license (IN10). The fact that your partner was unwell and asked you to driver the car for her might help to mitigate the sentence a bit but I think it's unlikely that you would get let off for that reason.

You are unlikely to receive a ban for an insurance offence. It is normally 6 points on your licence and a fine. Only if these 6 points take you upto the "totting up" value of 12 would you be banned (unless of course you are still covered by the new drivers act in which case at 6 points your licence will be revoked.)

  • 6 months later...

I was not complaining that she hadn't been arrested but I am curious about one other thing. About 7 months ago, I went to pick my GF up from work and was driving the car WITHOUT her consent. There are other offences besides the TWOC which I admitted to. In my interview for the other offences, I admitted the TWOC and was re-arrested and cautioned again 'mid interview'. I was formally charged with the other offences(no insurance/no L plates) but was released without the TWOC charges being brought against me. Question is.... Can they re-arrest me for the TWOC given the fact that they had a confession and failed to do so at the time? Thanks.

I suspect the police "take a view" on the total package of offences and prosecute you for the the easiest to prove and/or the one that carries the highest penalty. They don't always (contrary to what we the pubic think of them sometimes) make every attempt to "throw the book at you". :)
