I recently changed my car and tel my insurance company. The engine size was the same and all other details, ie named driver etc stayed the same so they put the new car reg, make and model and sent me a new document. No charge or changes. |

PP.Do you really trust the DVLA, I was pulled over by the Police and according to them (Via the dvla) I had no insurance,Fortunatly I could prove that I had,their system is Crap and lots of people have had to be inconvenienced by it. it stinks and is just to increase revenue for them.you lose a months road tax,and the other person pays for the month you have lost, doesnt sound a lot but multiply that by a few million(Car Sales etc) and it adds up to a considerable amount of cash. plus the money that Insurance people want for changing retails.As I stated, The motorist is being taken for a Patsy once again. |

I think the phasing out of the way insurance use to work is all part of the same thing, |

Bob, Ref, Your insurance is valid for a borrowed car, |

Bobtanian | Report | 27 Feb 2014 14:24 |
so another thing, doing the direct debit thing...........you die or become unable to drive and your tax still comes out of your bank(unless you are, or your dependants are aware) and stop the D/D |

They don't need any (Extra) cars, They don't catch every one all the time but they are getting close to catching them all, I see cars parked all over the place with the police stickers on stating it has been seized, i've witnessed it several times in my travels, |

I know that PP. but how many cars (Extra) will they need,? apart from the MOT, they will also have to have Valid Insurance which will have to be either transferred to the new vehicle or a new policy taken out,which as you know will cost you for the change of details.Either way the Motorist is going to be Stung yet again.**M**. |

Bobtanian, you can tax the car over the phone or internet at the time of purchase. |

Merlin, The police don't need to check if any car is taxed, |

Yes I read that PP. crafty of them ,when selling the remaing tax can be reclaimed from the DVLA. However as you probably know, you lose a Months Tax when you do that.Just another fiddle,and are the Police going to check every car to see if its Taxed? I think not,Personally,**M** I dislike the Idea. |
